The Amulet Fad.

Strong-minded and well-balanced as the
woman of today is thought to be by her
self and her admirers, she seems to have
gone daft on the subject of charms and
amulets. AT first it was the chatelaine,
with its long chains and useful mirror.

bangle. with silver pigs and elephants
and turtles. This fad was followed by a
madness for old coins and thirst for
four-leaf clovers imprisoned in round
glass lockets. and quite lately the demand
for silver cowbells and images of Buddha
has become the bane of the trinket shop
keepers life. From Paris comes the lat
est bauble, before which superstitious
woman bows down and worships. 1t is 4
spider enclosed in a locket. A deaths
head of ivory with emerald eyes is also
said to be an excellent charns with which
to WOO or retain health, and no Partisan
wheelwoman now dreams of venturing
out on her bike without a bit of the
cord from the end of which a fellow
creature was swung into eternity. As
hanging is not the way they send crimi-
nails out of the world in France. the su-
perstitious faddist has to depend chiefly
on suicides for her talisman, and with
each scrap of rope the dealer in these
grim charms supplies certificates and
proofs of authenticity.

WASHINGTON DENTAL PARLORS,
N. Z. Cor. Seventh and Z Sts n W.
SHE WAS THE FIRST STAR.
And President Washington Witness.
ed Her First Performance

Every now and then an anecdote
comes to the front. showing that our
first President liked the theater as we'll
as do his followers of today. The point
is mentioned in one of the many theat-
rical stories narrated in "Shakespeare's
Heroines on the Stage" says the author
of the book:
"A Philadelphia Portia of this same
season of 1793-179i comes of a noted
family. being none other than Mrs. Eli
"a Whitiock. the sister of Mrs. Siddons
and of the Kembles. In England. at
the age of %. she had made her London
debut as the heroine of 'Shylock' on
the 22d of February. 1888: and though
somewhat masculine in face and figure,
yet displayed so animated a counte-
nance and so graceful a bearing as to
win a. moderate degree of favor. A few
years after coming to this land she en-
joyed the distinction of playing the first
star engagement on the American
stage, being engaged for $3.50 and a ben
eft, to play at the Boston Theater in
October 1896. There she repeated her
Portia, contending with the remem-
brance of Mrs. Poweirs impersonation
of a previous season. She also had the
honor of playing before George Wash
ington in Philadelphia

Summer ShampoOs.

The best shampoo is hard soap obtained
from the kitchen and warm water. This
removes the grease and the dirt and
cleanses it. The most important part
comes in the rinsing, which can hardly
be carried to the extreme. In the hair
dresser's shop. you will remember. they
turn loose faucet upon your bended
head, or use a spray, until it Is freed
from all soap and dirt.
Shampooing at home is a difficult proc
ess, but it, when it comes to the rinsing.
YOU bend your head over the bath tub
and get some friendly hand to turn on
the faucet, you can perform home
shampoo very successfully. Let the hair
dry until 1t is as dry as a bone. other
wise it will smell musty. After 1t is dry.
air and sun it and then do 1t up the best
YOU can until a little natural grease ac-
cumulates in 1t. Many people use a lit
tie vaseline on the hair to restore some
of the natural grease which has been
taken from it. The vaseline is rubbed in
to the roots and not into the hair, and
only the smallest bit is needed. bit as
small as a pea is sufficient for the en-
tire hair.
An egg shampoo is something of which
every woman has heard. but few know
its efficacy. The yolk of an egg Is well
beaten, after which 1t is rubbed into the
roots of the hair and gradually worked
in until the whole head is covered with
it. Then before the egg is washed out
soap is rubbed into the hair. and the
whole is mixed up together until lath-
er Is formed. Warm water is poured
through the hair, then comes water a
little cooler, and finally dash of cold
water. until the hair is acclimated to the
winds. This makes most successful
shampoo.

A NEW ART CRAZE.
Fungus Pictures Are Just Now the
Proper ThirE.

Society has two new crazes in the
bric-a-brac line, and every second
house one goes into these days has these
ornamental novelties displayed on man
tel. cabinet or walls. If. therefore. you
would be in the fashion. hurry and buy
while they are still the swell thing one
of the new fungus ornaments and one
of the gay plaques or composition ware.
These have become fashionable as Gu
rious and very novel kinds of pictures.
and such they are now being bought
by dozens of swell women The crowd of
habitual shoppers that circle here and
there in search of novelties have seen
nothing of them as yet, nor is it likely
that they will For. like most quaint and
decorative articles of this sort. the fun
gus ornaments and new picture plaques
are to be had only in the exclusive little
shops of the town-the unobtrusive places
on or near the Avenue which fashion
visits when on the lookout for some
thing new.
No quainter. more original novelties
have been shown in New York for sew
eral years. and these new fads are very
easily understandable. The fungus orna-
ments are unique. and they are proving
a financial boom of size to the New
York woman who raought of them and
persuaded at least one shopkeeper to put
them on sale. That woman has all she
can do now; she has orders far ahead.
and the shop that first started the sale
cannot supply the demand.
This fungus ornament is plain and
simple fungus of a variety found in the
Adirondack woods. its root and back, left
in its natural condition. simply being
cleaned, its front and surface. which is

slightly with the sharp edge of knife. it

scraped, its interior is found to be a dull

The inventor of the fungus as a work of
art, therefore, soon discovered that she
had all her materials to hand. Without
the aid of a particle of paint or other col

picture of really a High order of artistic
merit.

be produced in marvellous way merely by

duced as readily as can simple figures and

her toys, a man hunting with hounds and
every equipment completely pictured.
These new style pictures" that can be
set or hung anywhere. are very realistic
in their details, and can be bought for any

REV. DR.. JAEGER'S CASE.
To He Tried on n Charge of Int
moral Conduct.

Lynchburg Va. June 29.-The case of
Rev. DIR. A. Jaeger. charged with immoral
conduct. is being watched with consider
able interest throughout the State, and
particularly in the Episcopal diocese of
Southern Virginia. He will he tried by an
ecclesiastical court. consisting of five
clergymen. Bishop A. NJ. Randolph las
already selected eight ministers, whose
names have been sent to DR.. Jaeger. He
will have the right to strike out three Of
them. and the remaining five will hear
the case and render a verdict. DR.. Jaeger
is Hebrew by birth and was born in
Austria After receiving a thorough and
careful education he came to the United
States. and for number of years past
has been actively engaged in teaching
and preaching. having been at various
times located at Gambia. Ohio: Suwannee.
Tenn, Lynchburg, Va, and other places.
While residing in Southern city he left
the Jewish Church. for which he had been
educated. and affiliated with the Baptist
denomination. Subsequently he connected
himself with the Episcopal Church and
has remained identified with it up to the
present time. being now member of the
diocese of Southern Virginia. In his ap
preaching trial the ecclesiastical court
will have to decide whether his connection
with the diocese Shall or shall not be dis
solved.
The trouble in regard to DR.. Jaeger has
been of long standing. and its investiga-
tion by the court promises TO be of a
very sensational character. DR.. Jaeger
has friends and supporters. who earnest
ly deny the charges of immortality. and
who declare that he will be honorably
acquitted. The date of the trial has not
as yet been definitely determined. DR..
Jaeger married Miss Annie Wilmer a
sister of Rev. c. B. Wilmer. a few years
ago. Mr.. Wilmer came here from Ohio
for the purpose Of accepting a position
assistant in the Lynchburg Colored Or
phan Asylum and Industrial School. a
worthy institution. established by DIR.
Jaeger. and successfully conducted by
him for several years. For many months
the relations between DIR. Jaeger and Mr..
Wilmer have been intensely strained At
one time Mr.. Wilmer on the strength of
representations made to him after his
return from a Northern trip by certain
parties. swore out a warrant. charging
DR.. Jaeger with lunacy. A commission
to examine into the matter was sum-
moned. but the warrant. at the solicita-
tion of friends. was withdrawn DR. Jae--
ger at one time Swore out warrants.
charging Mr.. Wilmer with saul.ing
him. Mr.. Wilmer was tried on one of
the warrants by a Campbell County jus
ticc. and was acquitted. The trial on the
other warrant has not yet taken place.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Wilmer submit
ted his resignation to the board of trus-
tees of the orphan asylum. II was ac-
cepted. and nearly all of the members of
the board who were present at the meet
ing handed in their designations and re-
tired DR.. Jaeger's alleged misconduct
and the charges brought against him have
been closely connected with the trouble
between him and Mr. Wilmer. The latter
has been offered and has accepted a
charge in Cincinnati
