What VII Surely Do 1t.

Ones hair begins to fall out from
many causes. The important qucs-
ton is: What is sure TO make it
grow in again? According to the
testimony of thousands, Parker's
Hair Balsam will do it. 1t quickly
covers bald spots, restores the origi-
nal color when the hair is gray or
faded, eradicates dandruff, and causes
the scalp to feel cool and well. 1t is
not a dye, not greasy, highly perfum-
ed, safe. Never disappoints those
who require a nice, reliable dressing.

A Question Among Judges Decided.
fspEoIAL TO THE szgTIHRL.1

SAN Francisco, June Six Of the IL
Superior Judges Of this city held a meet
ing to-day to decide the question whether
the presiding Judge has the power, after
assigning 8 criminal case TO one Depart
ment, to take it out OF that Department
and assign il to another Department
without consulting with the Judge to
whom it was first assigned. The Judges
present were unanimous in their opinion
that the presiding Judge has the power
TO reassign cases. The meeting was
prompted by the raising Of the question
by Judge Murphy. to whom presiding
Judge Edmonds had assigned the cases of
Doane, Creighton and Northey, charged
with bribing a jury in the case OF Florence
Wright vs.. the Geary street railroad.
Judge Edmonds subsequently resssigned
the case TO Judge Wilson oil afidavits filed
by the accused, charging that Judge
Murphy was p~rejudiced, and they could
not have a fair and impartial trial in his
Department. The jury bribery cases will,
it is believed, be tried in Judge Wilson's
court.
