There never was a time perhaps when
the necessity for paying small bills was
more imperative than the present. Ev-
cry man feels that he should have
every dollar that is due him, and the
failure of persons to pay small bills
who are able to do so, tends to tighten
financial affairs and produce individual
and general stringency in money mat
tiers. If every person would reflect how
many debts only dollar Or two would
liquidate, and how much community
would be benefited by general pay
ment of small accounts, we think key
would be found to unravel and remove
much of the complaint of stringency in
money matters. Therefore, if you owe
this Office anything we would be pleased
to have it paid in at once.

The rage for antiques and ornamental
bric-a-brac is shown by recent auction
sale in London, when some $4,000 was
paid for collection of art pottery and
curiosities that had been accommodating
for four generations in the Fontaine
family of Norfolk, England. The sale
lasted three days, and was attended by
so eagerly that the collection
sold for the preposterous amount
Of f0l,00O. In one instance, $1,000
was given for single dish; in
another, candlestick fetched 1858; in
third, two candlesticks, bought to be
reSold to the nation, cost { 800; and, in
fourth, Gl,452 was paid for an ivory
horn without a history. a ever was
knocked down at G2,Al5; sunk dish, in
enamels, was purchased for G2,9I0; an
oval dish went for G79S; and small,
deep faienco dish, which Mr.. Fon-
tainc bought from the Bernal collection
for $50, realized E377 los. 1t il we'll,
perhaps, to keep up the connec-
ton between the several generations 10y
preserving and honoring all kinds of
artistic work. We are apt to think that
human excellence in art and industry is
confined to our own times, but the
works that have come down to us prove
| that the men of the past were as clever
| ingenious and more thorough than those
| that live in our own time; but the rage
for old dishes, candlosticks and puerilt
ornaments that is occasionally revived
has been carried of late to an absurd eN.

A BRILLIANT INAUGURATION.
Thirty Thousand Strangers Visit the City
the First Night and Witness the
Grand Pageant of the Trades
Unions, ETC., Etc.

ST.. LOUIS, Sept, Railroad men esti
mate the number of strangers brought
TO the city yesterday and last night at
10000. Tho attraction was the second
annual pageant of the Trades Display
Association and the opening of the new
Exposition building, both of which
events took place last night. The
parade was made up of fOrty-One floats,
representing some of the principal
business firms OF this city. The floats
combined the unitarian, the artistic, the
novel and the beautiful in an eminent
degree, and gave confirmation to the re-
port that $4,000 had been expended in
their construction. Besides these fea-
lures the procession comprised many
civic societies of the citv, all of the mill
tary organizations and eighteen bands,
half of which came from the country
towns. The streets along the line of
march, which was four miles long, were
I'm places illuminated almost to degree
of grandeur and were so density
packed with people that strong police
force found great difficulty in making
room for the procession. While the
procession was moving over its route
the opening exercises of the Exposition
were in progress at its Olive street front
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets. The building had been con
structed within few months ut cost
largely over half million of dollars
and although not quite completed, the
exhibition has an extensive capacity
The galleries are finished and the Elk
position which Is to continue forty days
was in fine shape for presentation to the
public when the doors were
thrown open to-day. The opening
exercises consisted of prayer, oratory

of the association. Brief speeches were
made by United States Senators Vest
and Cockrell and Gen. Sherman. Music
and artillery salutes were interspersed
At the conclusion of the speeches tho

the doors of the great building were

HUNTING HORSE THIEVES.

JACKsBoRu, Sept. D. Correspond
ence. News reached our Sheriff yester-
day Of the capture of two horse thieves
on Bones creek in the southeast part of
this (Jack) county. Whereupon our
Sheriff w. Nj. King, ut once despatched
A. Il, Stensin, Deputy Sheriff, in com
pany with others to the place of the rem
contre. They returned this morning
about daylight bringing in one of the
horse thieves, who gives his name as
Tom Smith, and the other whose name
we learn, is Martin, was shot and almost
instantly killed at the place of the cap
ture. The circumstances of the capture
and the killing of Martin, as learned
are as follows. some horses
were stolen from the citizens
of the Bone creek community, on
Friday night, and ON Saturday were
found by some citizens who were ont
hunting for them, tied in the brush
They waited close by until the thieves
came to get the horses, which it seems,
was on Sunday. The citizens fred upon
them. The man Tom Smith empted his
revolver at them but failed TO do any
damage. Martin also attempted to
shoot, but was killed in the act. lie
was buried at the place Of the killing.
The wounded man, Tom Smith, was lit
orally shot AL to pieces. lle
acknowledges to have stolen the
horses, but says it was his first
attempt. He is now under the medical
treatment Of Or, X. Il. Mcclure. 1t is
| said the two men came from South
Carolina about year ago and worked
in Springtowu, Parker county, until
recently, when they settled up with
their employer and started out stealing
horses, but their career as horse thieves
| terminated rather suddenly. The
chances Of recovery for the man Smith
arc exceedingly slim.
