EDITOR FREE PRESS The Criminal
Court of this city commenced its fall term
yesterday, and that tribunal was again the
scene of disgraceful QUARREL between the
eccentric Judge Lauglin) and a lawyer
named Nolan, who assisted Oh acting as
prosecuting attorney in the place of Mr..
Harris, who is still too i'll to perform his du-
ties. Nolan is the choice of the sick incum-
bent and Col. Normile is the (politicaD friend
and choice of the Court The salary is
$500 per month, and here is where the bore
of this contention is situated. The fight is not
over, and serious consequences and great
delay IN the trial ofimportant criminal cases
will result. A reputable citizen named
Hunter was murdered by hoodlum known
as Billy Woods on the corner of 7th and
st Charles streets yesterday. 1t is one of
the many cold blooded and unprovoked
murders that disgrace the city.
The applications for space at the coming
great fair to be held October next in st.
Louis is said to be unprecedented, especially
in the mechanical departments The vast
preparations for illuminating the city exceed
anything of the kind in past experience.
The great city will be fairly ablaze for miles,
and the procession of the "Veiled Prophet"
on the night of October Sd, will be grand
beyond all description.
Next Monday night the new Olympic the
eatre will open its doors to the amusement
public. This magnificent structure occu-
pies the entire block on 5th between Walnut
and Elm streets, and the Olympic is said to
be the largest and finest theatre west of New
York city. A nine days wonder in the
shape of an elopement occurred here yester-
day. Charles Miller, MASKING baggage
smasher, ran away with the wife of another
baggage Wagon driver, the fleeing and gull
ty couple taking with them four of Samp-
sons children and every vestige of personal
property in the deserted home. A fifth child
too sick to walk, was actually Abandoned
by the unnatural mother, and was found
helpless upon the bare floor of the stricken
home by Sampson on his return in the even
ing.
Mr.. Sampson is mad enough, and it is
hoped will overtake the fugitives, and with
the strength of Sampson paralyze them
both.

FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.

NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
IT is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for pre-
serving the hair. 1t restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. BY its use thin
hair is thickened, and badness often
though not always cured. 1t checks falling
of the hair Immediately, and causes new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The VIGoR cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all Of the
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
AS a Dressing for Ladies Hair
The VIGoR is incompatible. 1t is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambria. 1t imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.

Entertaining.

1t is not hard to have little company to
tea, or to spend the evening, if the lady OF
the house knows how to plan the work and
does not crowd too much in one day.
If the cake is made the day before it will
be fresh enough, and if you are so unfortun-
.ate as not to be entirely successful in making
or baking you will have time to remedy this
trouble by trying again
If salad is to be part OF the supper, the
chicken may be prepared in the morning,
and then late in the afternoon the dressing
may be prepared and salad mixed.
When it is in the dish and ready for the
table, wet a clean cloth in vinegar and lay
over the top; this will keep it moist, and it
will not lose its flavor by standing.
If you are to have sandwiches they
may be buttered early and damp cloth laid
over them.
Have the dishes and silver ready, and put
in convenient place where you can get
them with no delay or trouble of counting.
Silver may be rubbed and table-cloth and
napkins laid aside days before.
Above all, after having done these things
do not worry think over all the times you
have been ont to tea, and You will hardly be
able to recall single time where anything
went very badly.
Avoid confusion; if any one is to help you,
be she servant or friend, let her distinctly
understand what her duty is to be, so that
You will not interfere with each other
