sEcRETARY ALeER,s TEMAcITY.

Secretary Alger is determined to re-
main member Of the cabinet until
December IN order that he may sign
the full report Of the secretary Of war.
IL is said that the president is tired
Of Ayers tactics and It is not prob
able he will allow him to longer re-
main a member of his offlcisl family.
In esaas to stick, however, the tena-
sious secretary has made the some
what novel proposition Of making
himself scarce until congress con-
venes, thereby allowing the president
to run naval affairs as he sees 1T.
But the president has several other
little matters on his hsuds just now
and It is extremely doubtful If he VIII
accede to Alger's proposition. Natur-
ally he prefers to have some one at the
head Of the department, and no doubt
he will appoint a new secretary Of
war, whose influence aud ability can
be relied upon Alger is unquestion-
ably guilty Of forming an alliance
with political enemies Of the admins
tration.
Alger's days as secretary OF the ma
Wy are few and the sooner be is fred
out the better. That he must go is in
evitsble.

IS IT RIGHT

For an Editor to Recommend Patent Medi-
oines9
From Sylvan Valley News, BreyArd N. @
It may be question whether the editor
Of newspaper has the right to publicly
Recommend any ofthe various proprietary
me dicines which food the market, yet as
a preventive OF suffering we feel II duty
to say a good word for Chamberlain g
Collie. Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy.
We have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable, In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours Of
suffering while a physician is awaited.
We dohot believe in depending implicitly
on any medicine for cure. but. we do
believe that II bottle Of Cham berlaiu's
Diarhoea Remedy were kept on hand and
administered at the inception Of an attack
much suffering might be avoided and in
very many cases the presence of physi-
cian would not required. At least this

HoBoKEN PIER IMPROVED
North German Line Making Its
Extension.

The North German Lloyd Steamship
Company has commenced to make extern
sive improvements to the big pier at the
foot of Fourth street, Hoboken, which, as
told in The News" it recently acquired,
through Campbell & Co., from the Stev-
ems estate. The old warehouse fronting
on Fourth street is being torn down and
the pier will be extended several hundr
feet nearer the Hudson street line The
Thingvalla line win continue to dock its
ships at the pier. the extensions being
made providing sufficient accommodations
for both companies.
Campbell and Co. still refuse to make
public the price paid by the Bremen line
for the pier. The property is among the
most valuable of Hoboken's shore front,
and must have commanded a big price.
Rumors have been current recently
that the Rotterdam Inc contemplates
leaving Hoboken ard removing to New
York. The company Is emphatic in its
denial of such a move. The Rotterdam
lines vessels dock foot of Fifth street.
This pier is owner by the Hoboken Land
and Improvement Co.. which controls
nearly the whole of Hoboken's shore
front. This company likewise denies the
rumors that the Rotterdam line contem-
plates leaving Hoboken.

CHIEF MURPHY'S LITTLE JOKE
Passed CounterReit Bill ON Justice
Potts and Several Business Mon.

Chief Of Police Murphy has in his pos
session, this morning, a two dollar bill
which had very c~leverly been raised to
a ten dollar bill. The counterfeit had
been successfully handled by three busi-
ness men Of this city, before it was dis
covered a counterfeit.
The bill is known as a "McPherson,v
as General McPherson's picture adorns
the face. Every 2 on the bill had been
erased by means of some kind of acid
and a Roman 10 substituted. The large
number 2 on the face of the bill was sup.
planted by a X. from a beer stamp.
Chief Murphy said this morning that
the bill, which is of the series of 1891,
is a very dangerous counterfeit. He
knows of but one other, a Window bill,
in existence III this city.
When Police Justice Potts entered Po-
lice Headquarters Chief Murphy called
him into his private office and, in this
presence of several reporters, asked the
Judge to change the bill. The Court did
not have the required change, but vol
unteered to take the bill and send the
balance Of the change to the chief afte.
prised when he learned that the bill was
a counterfeit.
Several business men on Newark ave-
were asked to change the bill, and
all were very willing.
Nine persons out of every ten. except.
ing a bank employe, would be deceived
by the BILL said Justice Potts.
