A Collection Of Counterfeits.

There is in this city what is probably
the best collection OF counterfeit bank
notes and certificates in the possession
of any individual in this country. There
were several good collections up to
1891. but the government stepped in
then and made it Illegal for anybody
to have counterfeit money in his pos
session without the permission of the
secretary ~ the treasury. This piece
of Hesitation resulted in the coniisca-
ton OF several collections. The one left
intact in this city belongs to John HoI-
Ter and William Dickerman. who pub
lish the United States Treasury Coun-
terfelt Detector, and its owners have
official permission from the secretary
of the treasury to maintain 1t. The
complete collection of oounterfeits rep
resen;s nearly $1,000, but Messrs. Hol-
Ter and Diclterman are allowed to keep
only $3.50 worth In their office. The rest
is deposited in Washington. and in.
