An interesting Test Case.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 2.-Judge Baland of
the police court and .ex-oficio Justice OF
the peace to day handed down a decision
Of the test case made by the lsa.oon
men Of the validity of the penalty clause of
the Sunday law. The law is city measure,
and it reqires trial Judge to revoke the
selling liquor on Sunday. The city ordin-
ance cOnfers the power to revoke licenses
upon such judges. Judge Baiand, IN his
opinion, held thar the ordinance, and
therefore the law, is unconstitutional and
dismissed the cases Of fifteen saloon men
charged with Violating the law. The city

Mining Camp Burned Out.

ST. PAUL, Sept. IA special to the
Pioneer Press from Great Falls, Mont
says: News has just been received that
Barker was almost totally destroyed by
fire yesterday. The fire started in miners
camp, three doors below the Feiglers house,
and swept from there up the valley, burn
ing all the eastern portion of the camp. 1t
children lost their lives. There are also
three men missing. Mobiles lost seventy
tons of hay, farm tools and everything but
his household goods. Barker is the busi-
ness center of the entire Barker district

Great Falls. The mineral deposits are on
both the east and the west sides of the
east side of the creek, where most of the
business was done. The place will at once
rebuild.

Picking Byrnes. Pocket,

v .t
Very few people would believe that IN
spector Byrnes had ever been worked BY ai
pickpocket," I" but such is the case, and, what
Is more, he lost his fins gold chronometer-
for little while. Il vas just after the big
street railway tie up had been successfully
ended, and New Yorks own vidocq was en-
joying q little recreation with the newspaper
reporters who cover police headquarters and
chronicle its daily happenings Pickpockets
and the part they had taken in working the
big crowds which had congregated to wit
ness the fights between the strikers and the
police was the subject unde. discussion.
Tell me, Inspector" said one OF the young
men, with an Innocent, insinuating smile, as
he ddled up close to the inspectar, isn't it q
very easy matter to spot these gentry when
ever you meet themT' Lazily fourishing his
partly consumed Perfecto in the direction Of
so much reportorial ignorance, and transfx-
ing him with q withering glance. the inspec-
tor said:
You just bet it amt, young fellow. Why,
they're the sleekest ducks out of jail, and
there amt any way to spot 'em till you catch
'em right in the act There's nobody too slick
to be caught mapping, either. Take my ad-
vice, gentlemen, and keep a close lookout for
your watch and money when you strike a
crowd, whether at church, at theatre, on
race course or elevated platform" "You
don't mean to say you would be afraid Of
losing your watch in q crowd, do youa" said
the young man, as he edged up little closer
to the inspector. "Well, / wouldn't be too
sure of that, J" he replied. At this the inno-
cent young man seemed satisfied and started
to go, but a significant smile passing over the
faces of one or two Of the other reporters, the
inspector suspected that something was up
and ran his hand into his vest pocket. His
fine gold chronometer was gone, and nothing
but the chain and ring was left. It had been
''rung." The boys had their little laugh on
the inspector, who gave them something
more substantial to smile over, and none Of
them ever thought worth while to write the
story, but it is true, every word of it, And
the reporter who '.picked his pocket" is one
of his best friends-New York World.

Gesture and Facial Expression.

Gesture has been brought almost to q
science in the French schools of acting, It
has been argued out and reduced to positive
rules which are most useful to know, and give
great resource of action alike to actor and
reciter. Thus it is that gesture is thing
that may be actually studied and taught.
Facial expression, in less degree, is also a
matter of ascertained rule. It has, so to
speak, been brought to book. Darwin has
written and Lavater has delineated. English
people who have to cultivate these natural
expressions of drama should surely not neg
lect such means of study. For we are not,
as nation, gifted with the speech Of gesture
or Of the face. The Frenchman's hand is
often distinct feature, Ineligible and elo-
quent The Englishman's, as a rule, is only
q development of the paw, and rarely sec
onds his words with anything more than mere
emphasis
The immobility Of the ordinary English
face has been often noted and confessed, We
are nothing if not dignifed; and significant
gesture and very expressive play of feature
are not thought, it would seem, to be very
desirable things on this side of the channel.
We prize highly the excellent virtue of reti-
cence. Then, too, we are almost inconven-
iently alive to the ludicrous; and in our
searching and ruthless criticism of others and
of ourselves, we naturally find the pleasant
est thing on the whole in all personal matters
is self restraint. We have our reward. We
also pay the price. And we pay it, in one
way, in the conspicuous stiffness Of action
and in the set conventionality Of our faces.
1t is true that English men and women have
often the grace that comes from athletic
training, but this is personal rather than sig
nificant, and finds its best expression in the
field, on the river, across country. over the
highland moor, or up the mountain side

STRONG MINDED WOMEN.

just why the epithet strong minded should
be used as q term Of reproach to . woman
has always eluded my comprehension. II
suppose, however, it Is because the majority
nish anonymous The Implication is as alb
nize who for moment viii view the subject
from the proper standpoint u v e VI
My idea of a strong minded woman Is any
thing but mplimentary. She is q woman
endowed by the gods with an unusual amount
well poised; she is keen witted, and, best Of
all, is invariably talented. It is this latter
characteristic which lifts her above the COM
mon herd, and naturally marks her a. the
target for their small shot. Z. s9
& WHEN SHE. Is INDEPENDENT.
A strong minded woman has the convic-
lions of her own opinions; she is Independent
Of the small souled criticisms Of the narrow
minded people about her; she will not be ham
pered by them. If you will observe you win
find it is invariably the woman who writes
who is spoken Of as strong minded creature,
as though it were not a blessing to have mind
at all, particularly q forcible one. But, says
the world, it is not the fact of womanb
writing that we object to, but the knowledge
that she gets money for it, thus placing her
self in the role Of bread winners Evidently
the world does not know that there are wom-
en- today who have entered the field of jour
nalism who are far above want or the neces-
sity Of earning their livelihood, but who enter
into the work, body and soul, from pure love
OF it, The money it brings is not their objects:

and there are few other stacks observ-

SAUK CENTRE HERALD.
THURSDAY, AUGUST s, 1889.

Attention is invited TO an article on
county assessment, copied from the Jour
naEPress. elsewhere in this paper. 1t
will be observed that the decrease in per-
sonal assessment in st. Cloud is $2S, 900
during the past year, while in Sank Cen
tire there is an increase of $40, 00O-an,,
yet Sank Centre lays no special claim to
a large increase in population and W ealth
during the past twelve months, as St.
Cloud does. One of two things is inevi-
table; either St. Cloud has greatly exag-
gerated its growth in material prosperi-
ty, or else its assessor has failed to find
large amount of property which aught
to have been listed,
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1889-08-08
Total, County, $2,O25,5s1 $1,s52,16s
'EStimated

A very large increase over last year is
apparent, but this is largely because the
County board took the bull by the
horns and increased the valuations
themselves on the basis established by
the state board instead Of waiting for
the state board to do it as for the past
few years. This is much fairer to the
several towns, for the commissioners
could make the raise more equitable as
between towns than could the state
board, which would raise all equally.
The total under the various headings
except St. Cloud city, make the follow
ing showing, which is in many respects
very SI1OoeSt I'VE.
