nonnely in England.

When we say girl is honely we
mean that she IS the reverse of beauti-
full, Enthusiastically plain, and sometimes
painfully so. In England, however, the
term is measure complimentary. The
honaely girl is the one endowed with all
domestic virtues She is home-body
in every sense Of the word; one of those
coy little women with soft, plump
checks, smooth hair and rounded out
lines, that man always imagines as
sitting opposite him at the table or
bending over bit of sewing il the mel

Briton that girl is not good-lookins.
we must not say that she is homely. but
plain. or ugly.

TREATED LIKE SLAVES.
Unfortunate Germans Taken
From the Oyster Boats in
Chesapeake Bay.
The Liberated Men Tell Terrible
Stories of Cruel Treatment
and PrivatiOns.

BALTIMORE. Dec. 30.-A picturesque
crowd of men. dressed in almost every
imaginable style Of clothing, filed from
the wharf Of the Easterna Shore Steam
boat company to MarSl7Qr Airee.s office
this afternoon. They arrived on the
boat from Chisfield and were the first
batch of oyster dradgers taken from the
PUNCHES, bugeys and sloopS engaged III
the oyster trade down the bay. There
were nearly fifteen of them. and not one
OF the crowd could speak a word of Eng
llSh. The men were taken from de-
serted oyster boats by the Maryland
oyster navy and were all Germans. Re-
ports had come up from the bay that
these men were being terribly treated.
Many of them had not signed articles
and it is said were receiving no salary.
,nThe McLane sailed from Annapolis
last Tuesday, but the news of its err
rand had gone before it. Captains who
were charged with ill-treating their
crews deserted their vessels, and when
the latter were boarded could not be
found. The crews were therefore taken
Off and told terrible stories of cruelty
and prlvatiOnS. In the marshaIS office
this morning warrants were sworn out
against number of captains. These
will be served as socn as the men can
be found. Only one captain has thus
far been arrested. His name is Evans
and he is lodged in the Loon Jail. He
will be brought to this city as soon as a
deputy marshal can be sent with the
necessary papers. The McLane is now
in the waters of the Potomac. where a
number of men for whom warrants are
out are said to be. The men who were
sent to this city this morning were sent
to Jail AS witnesses. They, say the Jail
is much preferable to their quarters on
an oyster boat.

MILWAUKEE INSURANCE.
Rates Will Probably Be Largely
Increased.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Unless the citizens
of Milwaukee bestir themselves and in
sist Oh better protection against fire,
they will find the rates of insurance
largely increased, or possibly will be
unable to get any insurance at all. A
meeting Of general agents was held this
afternoon in the assembly room of the
Chicago board of underwriters, and be-
tween thirty and forty were present,
representing some Sixty companies i'll
all. A long discussion took place coll
corning what action should be taken re-
garding Milwaukee rates. 1t was felt
that after the numerous fires which
had occurred in that city recently the
companies could not afford to go on at
the same rates. Some twenty-five
agents and managers took part in the
discussion. many of whom had paid a
visit to Milwaukee. 1t was the general
opinion that many of the fires had been
caused by gross careleSsnesS, although
one or two might be the work of ir@
cendiaries. The feeling of the meeting
was that unless addition were made TO
the fire department, better systcnEd
inspection Instituted and better police
protection afforded, the companies
should at once raise the rates of insur-
ance, and resolution to that effect was
drawn up. The chairman was also en-
powered to appoint a committee of five
to visit Milwaukee and urge upon the
authorities there the necessity for i'm
mediate action.

Think
One of the amusing incidents of the
campaign now in progress for the
speakership of the lower house Of the
legislature happened last evening in
the lobby of the Merchants. 1t was
late. nearly midnight when three OF
the Republican candidates for speaker,
Messrs. Lee, Greer and Boggs, met in
the corridor and sat down to talk over
the situation. Soon number of gen-
tlemen gathered around, among whom
were eX-Speaker E. Z. Champlin, of
Blue Earth; Representative Joseph
Roach, of Rice, and Hon. j. j. FurIong.
After talking for time Mr.. Lee, who
was feeling very good, caught sight of a
fortune-telling- Observation-Disclosures ma
chine, and, walking across the floor,
said:
''See here, Bogcs. I am going to show
you what this machine thinks of your
canvass" at the same time dropping in
the nickel. The indicator moved around
and finally stopped pointing to the sem
tence:
stop before it is too late"

Lee, as we'll as Everybody else. laughed
hilariously.
This was funny. but Mr.. Boggs de-
cided to see what the machine would
say regarding Mr.. Lee. He dropped a
nickel in the slot and the machine
ground out this sentence:
"You are in greater danger than you
Think.
This was Mr.. Boggs' turn to laugh,
and he improved his opportunity.

As the time for the election of an Off
ciaI paper. approaches, members OF the
city council are being continually but
tOiflmled4by the representatives OF the
two rival Republican papers to award
one of them the patronage of the reform
council in the matter of printing. A
number Of the members have been
sought by letter. while others have been
personally ''seenH. 1t is a pretty fight
between the Pioneer Press and the Dis
patch to see. who would be elected the
official organ, and while the matter IS
not definitely settled as vet, it is pretty
certain that the Dispatch will. in all
probability. be designated as the official
paper at the first meeting of the council
in January.
1t will be remembered that President
Lightner introduced a resolution in the
assembly asking for bids. The resolu-
ton failed to pass in the board Of alder
men. But before the resolution came
up for action ali informal meeting was
held in the Office of well-known attor-
ney to discuss the propriery of electing
ali official paper without advertising for
bids. The following invitation was
sent to each Republican member of the
council, and all responded with the eX-
ception of Assemblymeu Pike, DAILY and
Reardon:
/ Dear Sir: number of the Republican
members of the city council have requested
me to call a meeting for conference. Monday
afternoon. Dec. TO- at 5 p. m. sharp, Mt this
office. has been decided upon as a convenient
time and place. 1 trust this will suit you and
that you will be present
The meeting was strong one while
it lasted, Assembiyman Lightner and
Aid. Copeland taking opposite sides.
Mr.Lightner contended that as matter
of business his resolution ought to be
adopted il the affairs of the city are to
be conducted OH business principles.
So far as politics was concerned in the
matter, he wanted it understood that he
wasn't elected as Democrat OF Repub-
lican, and he proposed to act accord
lngly. Judge Hickman and Aid. Mont
gomerY and Jensen agreed with MIR.
Lightner. Aid. Zimmerman stood by
his friend, Copeland, and said he was
willing to give it to one or the other of
the Republican papers at the present
price, which he was informed was low
enough to insure business interest,
He also stated that he was elected by an.
accident and wouldn't seek reelection.
Nothing definite was decided at the
meeting. There may yet be fight oyer
the matter, as the News intends to send
LII bid for publishing the common
council proceeding, but it is dOubtfullif
it will have any effect OH the reformers.

Last evening they met coterie Of
prominent and philosophical citizens
at the chamber of commerce and dis
cussed. in an informal way. matters
that pertain to municipal administers

For the reason that all future legiSla-

The various delegations of the cities in

will be done early in the session.
There is no city that stands more in
need of a radical change than st. Paul.
The So-called Bell charter has proven a
failure in many respects. 1t neither
remedies former evils nor provides Suffi-
cient opportunities for the municipality
to prosecute necessary improvements.
But regulations that are advantageous
to ST.. Paul will be advantageous to
Minneapolis, to Duluth. Winona and
other cities, and there is no question
that there will be conference early
in the coming session with a view TO
presenting a bill that will he satisfac-
tory to each city.
