LATEST COLLECTION" FAD
To Gather Up GIeIt Mems TestimO-
MAS soap and Medicines.

Washington, July S.-A new kind Of
collecting fad has started in Washing
ton. To collect autographs of public men,
photographs, samples of their note paper,
monograms, etc, has become common
place. and so an enterprising youth has
undertaken to collect from the advertising
columns Of the nespapers and magazines
the testimonials, of great statesmen and
their wives as to patent medicines, per-
fumery, soaps, and the like. These he
carefully pastes- into a scrap book. His
collection will be OF value to the histori-
an of the future who wishes a detailed
account OF the likes and preferences Of
many OF those persons now prominently
on the public stage. For example. there
is a certain kind of soap now being put
upon the market and this youth has COL
lected the opinions of the wives OF
score or more Of senators as to its merits.
Mrs. Frye, who lately returned from
Paris, where her husband attended the
sessions OF the peace commission, has not
so far forgotten practical affairs as to be
without an opinion concerning this re-
markable soap. Mrs. Gallinger also bears
witness to the virtues of this particular
thur p. German has something to soy
upon the same question. The boys great
regret is that in making his collection ne
is so handicapped by the ultra reserve. &C
he regards it. of Massa chusetts people.
81 haven't found Mrs. Hoar's testimonial
or Mrs. Lodges in connection with any
thing" ne says. regretfully.
But next to soaps, patent medicines add
the most to his collection. The youth who
IS making the collection says that all
great statesmen. as near as he can learn
from these advertisements, are wearing
themselves out for their constituents ard
hardly n case Of recovery is noted which
does not impress this fact. And the for
mer Populist congressman from Alabama,
NJ. w Hoard. seems to have suffered
the most severely Of all.
Apropos of this collection. the experience
of a man riding in the cars with a Yer
mont congressman is worth relating For
some reason Vermont statesmen are wont
to point with pride to a certain establish
ment which manufactures proprietary
medicines in that state and they evil
IDENTIFY like 10 encourage local industry by
recommending its wares. Or. perhaps.
che medicine meets local needs. At all
events, the pictures OF both representa-
tives in the house were travelling broad
cast over the country, when a man who
happened to be riding with one OF the rep
resentatives picked up a newspaper con-
tanning the picture of his colleague. "I
cannot for the life of me see why public
men allow their pictures to go over the
country in this way" were the words
which began 10 pour into the ear Of the
Vermont representative. He did not re-
spond so enthusiastically as might have
been desired. and as his companion went
further and further in decrying such
things. he finally stammered out that
somebody had told him that this concern
had his picture, too. but just how they
got i ne was a little uncertain. He did
not think much OF sue hthings himself
