The other tiny a Bir. : ninn was standing
nnnr a dour which led to the kitchen
of ono of the hotels in this city and notic
ing a man enter the door with a basket
containing sonio very largo oyster shells
his curiosity was nt once aroused. The
lirst tiling that suggested itself was that
the empty shells were used In. the dining
room to serve oysters on the half shell ,
and upon inquiry from those who know
and have been in tins business it was
learned that such was the case and it Is
by no means original in this particular
case referred to.
"Of course wo servo oysters on the half
shell , " said a well known waiter nt one
of the hotels to the llm : man who put the
question. "No , they never buy oysters in
the shell as they am lee expensive , " ho
continued , "but when oysters on the half
shell arc ordered , wo take some old sheila
and lay New York counts on them and
servo thorn. If they are put on nicely
and in good style with a half lemon laid
on ono fidn of the dish , who do you sup
pose would fully They look inviting and
not one person in a thousand Knows the
illH'urcncc. Another thing , most every
body who oats oysters and have over
eaten them in the east have forgotten
how oy.stor.s on the ahull taste ; yon know
oyo.ters away east and oysters out here
have a much ilill'ornnt tate all out-
oysters are received in bulk , in tubs ,
while east they tire taken directly out of
the shell and sold ; when they sell oysters
there by the quart or gallon they open the
oysters , put them in a largo vessel and
measure them out to the trailo. If a man
comes direct from the east ami orders
oysters , if you watch him , you'll find in
nine cases out of ten he'll stick up his
nose at them after having tasted one ; the
stews , fries , raws or anyway you serve
thorn don't have the aino line llavor , and
that's why so many pconle out hero say
'I don't ' care for oysters ; I can't sec how
you can eat Ihi-m. ' It's the same way
with salt water lisli here ; they don't seem
to have that delicious llavor they do east.
Yes , that's quite a doilgo , tmt it's a fact
that all the oyster shells arc asc arefully
handled almost , us dishes , so as not to
nick them ; then when oysters on the
shell arc wanted they take them out of
the tub and lay them on the shell and
you hiive 'oysters on the half shell , ' don't
you V" '
"There is , I believe. , only one firm in
this city who receive oy.sters from the
cast ill the shell , and I'm under the im
pression that they don't handle many , "
said a gentleman who is informed on the
subject. "Jlnt the sheila arc handled
often enough. Yon sec shell oysters arc
expensive and unless you are familiar
with the oyster you can't tell if it has
just been shucked or if it is a 'count1 laid
on an old shell and served. Oyster shells
are articles ot commerce in this part of
the country. The man who opens oys
ters after serving them mvariablv on
the half shell saves the shell. Thc'ncxt
day some ladv will dnvo tip in her euv-
riago and order lifty or more shells , as
she is to have a reception , a luncheon , a
Kensington tea or something of the sort ;
or a restaurant , hotel or somebody will
want a few shells. Why , sir , the tonicst
n flairs in this part of the west
don't ' get shell oysters ; they use
second hand shells. No one
knows the ditVeronco. You know the eye
is always lastennd to the oj'slcr shell , un
less cut loose , and no man back cast who
knows his business will allow one to
stick , but out hero things work differ
ently , and no man who knows his busi
ness will cut ono loose , as that is proof
of its being a shell oyster , and those who
really do have shell oysters will allow
the eye to stick in order that the cus
tomer may be assured that he is not
being served with bulk oysters on the
half shell. Nice deep oyster shells are
in demand. People buy canned oysters
anil get deep shells and roast the oyster
in the shell , At the places whore "you
see the sign 'oysters in all styles' you can't
get half shell oysters in ono place out of
a hundred , they may servo them on a
second-hand sholl. Oyster shells tire
used for chickens , but chickens don't
get any nice shells out horo. All they
irot is the old broken shells which , of
course , answers the purpose. Bltio
Points , East Kivors , J.ong Island Sounds ,
etc , , on n bill of fare , menu , etc. , gen
erally means , in thia part of the west ,
second-hand oyster shells with nice ,
Jarge bull ; oysters laid on the shells ; but
in a few places yon can lind some of
those famous shell oysters if you have
the 'dust' to purchase them.
In Memory of
There was quite a largo gathering in
the Temple hall yesterday afternoon nt
the Logan memorial services. The hall
was appropriately decorated. The plat
form was draped in the sombre black ,
and back of the speakers was a largo
tlag on which rested a life size oil paint
ing of the great general. The represen
tation of the Fifteenth army corps , as
made by E. . / . Abbott , nnd already described -
scribed in the Bee , was given a prominent
place at the side of the platform , Di
rectly in front of the platform was the
John A. Logan gun brought from the
Grand Army hall. It was gracefully
draped. The veterans marched into the
hall in a body , Mol'addon's drum corps
furnishing the innsio for the march from
the headquarters to the place of the
services ! .
The memorial services were well ar
ranged , and although there wore a num
ber of speakers the whole did not occupy
much over an hour. Colonel 11 , C. linb-
bard presided. The programme opened
with a chorus by Messrs. Troynor ,
Hunter , Conger , Stacy and Fitch. Uov.
Henry UeLong ollVrcd a patriotio nnd
earnest prayer.
Judge Heed was the iirst speaker. Ho
spoke of Logan as one who had already
made a mark in public all'airs before the
war in which ho tool ; so brilliant a part.
He pictured Logan in the national con
vention of the party with which ho allll-
iated in 1800 , and how it was Logan's
voice which hurled back defiance to the
threats of the fire-eaters. Ho was the
most conspicuous example of citizen soldiery -
diery , He was not only bravo , but
showed a great aptitude for arms. Ono
word from him in Irittle was worth more
than a thousand men in inspiriting the
troops. Ho was not only a model soldier ,
but no less a model tiiti/.en. Horn in an
humble station of life , lie rose to the
highest. Some ot his provincialisms of
speech clung to him , anil his reckless use
of Knglish was made a butt by jokers , but
Logan could always cay just what ho
meant , and the people understood
him. His place could not be filled.
Illinois could elect another senator
of perhaps equally lidelity and ability ,
but no one could take his place in the
hearts of the' people , and of the organi
sation that looked up to him as their
idol. Judge Head said he heard Logan
make an address to n gathering of his old
soldiers two years ago. In that address
ho called attention to the fact that soon
the last of .them would bo gone. Little
was thought then that this apparently
perfect specimen of physical vigor would
bo so soon to go. His example should
servo to inspire the remnant of theOrand
Army to so live as to win esteem from
their country and their friends.
Uov. Dr. McCrcary was the next
speaker. He termed Logan n true hero ,
o words could add to his fame. His
name by his words and deeds was for
ever emblazoned on the pages of Amer
ican history , and so long as those paces
Were rend so long would itboreverenced.
One by ono these great leaders were
being called away. They did not die.
They still lived. They were immortal.
Their deeds and inllucnco lived on for
ever. Their noble lives continue to servo
as an inspiration , and their noble works
as a blessing to mankind. Although a
public man , a politician , a military chief
tain , ho was a consecrated Christian. Ho
believed in the truths of Christianity , and
was not ashamed to take a public stand
as such a believer. It was this belief that
was his strength. It enables him to say ,
"Jf this be the end I am ready. " His in
tegrity was a wonderful uxamplo. The
past twenty-live years of national life had
been full of strong temptations for all
public men. ( ircal monopolies had
sprung up , and these poured their mill
ions into the legislative halls. Many
public men had their names tarnished.
No such breath of scandal had ever
dared to touch the name of John A.
Logan. He passed through this trying
ordeal an honest man to the very last.
His soul spurned a bribe , and he died as
he lived , an an honest example for the
rising generations.
Kov. T. J. Mackny followed. He said
he had addressed Ins congregation in the
morning on the deplorable worship of
wealth which characterised this ago.
There had been the age of chivalry , the
ago of intellect , but this to his mind was
the ago in which wealth was worshipped.
He felt rebuked by the gathering at this
service. They had come there not to do
homage to wealth , not to do homage to
brute lorce , but to do homage to true
manhood as shown in the life of the ono
whoso death hail caused such sadness.
They felt that he hail sprung from them ,
was ono of them , bone of their bone , llesh
of their llesh , and yet when in ono of the
highest lacc3 in the- nation , within ono
step of the very highest , ho was looked
on as the friend of every man. Mr.
Alackay declared that ho was himself no
hero worshipper , and cared nothing for
titles , and he joined in the tributes paid ,
because he recognized the tributes of this
occasion as not being paid because it was
a good man who had tallcn out of the
the ranks , but to the great moral worth
of the man. It showed that there was
something higher than generals or kings ,
and that was a man , true to his better
wolf and true to (3od. He urged the hear
ers to recognize their own dignity and
responsibility as citi/.ens , and to realize
that true manhood was above wealth or
position. If citizens followed the exam
ple thus set by the illustrious dead , were
true to their convictions of dulv , wcro
"
true to themselves , there would" be no
wanting to the nation such men as
Logan.
Judge Carson made a very pleasing ad-
dross. He spoke chiclly of Lojran's
faithfulness to duty. Ho did not feel
superiority to others , but simply per
formed what seemed to bo the duty at his
hand. In civil as well as military life he
was every inch a man , thus lived , thus
died.
Colonel Hubbard gave one of the best
addresses of the afternoon. He spoke as
a representative of the citizen soldiery.
Logan was especially dear to them be
cause ltd was their greatest example. Ho
had no military trainintr. lie was a vol
unteer , and yet he showed such rare
wpwors that he rose rapidly to the very
highest positions , and won the most
signal victories. It showed that though
there was not a craduate from West
Point , although there was no special
military training , there was in the Ameri
can people inherent qualities which in
case of need could produce leaders who
would be able to cope with any of the
great chieftains ot the world. Logan
was especially endeared to them because
he was so true to the demands of duty.
When on the eve of a battle in the early
part of the war another colonel rode up to
the then Colonel Logan , and said , " 1 out
rank you and will therefore take the post
of honor , " Logan replied , "I care not a
Hi ] ) about the post of honor , what L want
is to get into this light somenay. " That
showed the man. Duty 'was the
chief aim of his life. Another
cause was that ho never degraded
American citizenship. When another
ollicer had caused a soldier to bo pun
ished by being tied tip by his thumbs ,
Logan on his sick bed hearing of it , sent
Mrs. Lognn to have the man cut down.
He would not have a man punished in
such a way as to degrade his eiti/.enshii ) .
Ho was also just to the soldiers , both
during the war and since its close. Ho
showed thai ho was their friend and com
rade.
G. M. Harl was the next speaker. As
usual his address , though ox tempore ,
was graceful and eloquent , lie paid
special attention to the home life of
Logan. He pictured him as a model
husband and father.
Spencer Smith gave the closing address.
It was a fitting tribute to American wom
anhood , as exemplified in the life of Mrs.
Logan , who had done so much to stay
the' hands of the great chief and cheer
his heart. It was most appropriate that
such a tribute should be paid on such an
occasion. In closing ho made a motion that
a resolution of sympathy bo forwarded to
Mrs. Logan as an expression of the teel-
ing of the gathering , and this was
adopted by a unanimous uplifting of the
hands of those present.
The services closed by the congrega
tion rising and joining in ( iinging"Amcr-
ica , " led by the male chorus of singers ,
Kov. ( J. W. Croft then dismissed them
with the benediction.

C'lirlHllau Science.
The HOY. J. S. Mevillo , scientist ,
preached yesterday afternoon in the
Western Commercial college hall in the
Shugart building to about IfiO persons
which comfortably filled the room ,
Uov. Movillo was formerly a BaptUt
preacher with headquarters at Carroll ,
In. , and is now a Christina scientist with
a class at Nebraska City , Ho preached
Sunday , January 3 , in the same hall and
sit tin ) request of the Christian scientists in
this city , lit ) again preached yesterday.
The audience or congregation was com
posed of about an equal number of ladies
and gentlemen interested in the science
and composed of nuiny well known resi
dents of the city.
Ho chose as his text Matt. 17-1 : The
transfiguration of Christ , In the earlier
agea God taught mun by picture lessons
and later Christ taught by parable. This
transfiguration revealed God's only man
ner of communication witli man and
man's only comniunhntion with God ,
God is a spirit , and they that wor
ship him must worship him
in spirit and in truth. This transfig
uration was to show man what ho renllv
ami essentially was , as well as to reveal
God , and the only means of .communica
tion he had with man , namelyspiritual. .
It is hard for man to conceive this fact ,
Jt is only ns man emerges from natures
darkness , that Is. from matter to 'spirit ,

that lie bcconios spiritual and cun wor
ship God who is a spirit , as God made
man in his own image , what then is iiuin ,
spiritual or material ? Like begets like ;
spirit cannot create Unit which is not only
unlike itself but is directly opposed.
for matter or llesh is opposed
to spirit. The belief that
pain and pleasure , in life and death , holi
ness and unlioliness , niinglo in man , that
they arc a part of man , that man is at
tin ; same time in the likeness uml image
of God , in the imago of life ; truth and
love Is spiritually conceived and created ;
all the vanity of the ages cannot make
that contradiction true. Spirituality dis
sipates the illusion that life or mind is in
the material body. God bj'injj a holy
spirit cannot hold communication with
carnal man except through ono who civn
stand in the breach and , iiguratively
speaking , bo able to lay one hand iinon
God , the other upon man , and thus bring
them together a mediator to introduce
us to the presence of God. Thus Jesus
said : "J am the w.iy , truth aud life. " Be
fore man can reach the spiritual altitude
where lie can see God , he must lirst beheld -
hold Jesus on the cross. Alan must bo
crucified with Him. If man would know
God he must bo led up to this spir
itual altitude and worship Him
in spirit and in truth. When man is in
his spiritual communication with God he
recognizes God's ' voice. When God once
spoke to man , his own heard him , but
those who were not his own and were
carnallv minded simply thonirlit it thun
dered. Tito voice of truth is over speaking
to men , but those only hear it who have
"
been crucified to the" carnal and resur
rected to the spiritual. In closing ho
spoke of the immediate consciousness
after so called death and of spiritual re
cognition of our friends.
