The oyster Is eaten in a variety OF
STYLES He will be eaten to-day fried,
broiled, stewed, steamed, scalloped and
raw. Some people in Chicago eat them
picked. No matter, Chicago is young
Yet and will learn better after awhile.
So wealthy and cnterprising q city can
not remain forever uncivilized. The
best way 10 eat oysters is in the old,
fashioned Maryland stew. Shuck your
oysters, and on pain Of death, let not q
drop OF water or milk touch them. Let
them repose for few moments in their
own liquid, while YOU cut up a very
small quantity of fat, new bacon, with .
shred here and there Of lean with it.
About an ounce Of bacon TO quart OF
oysters Ham is not the best, neither il
midling; good, new shoulder is the arti
Gle. Put the bacon in frying-pan and
heat rapidly over vigorously burning
fire When the bacon is done to crisp
pour in the oysters. Stew for two min
utes and half or three, no longer.
Pepper to suit taste while stewing, II
the oysters are good saltwater biyalyes,
they need no salt. Then pour out and
eat, thank God you live in a land where
the art of cooking oysters properly il
not whois lost. Ii YOU eat oysters
cooked in this style you will never eat
them in any other way if YOU can help

The Baptist General Association, Of
Illinois, at its recent meeting, adopted the
following;
Resolved, That we regard the const.u
ticnal prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating drinks in our state as a
necessity, and that our most earnest efforts
shall be constantly given to secure vote of
the people upon this question, as far as
possible separate and apart from all parti
san political complications.
Resolved, That should the two great po-
lltical parties which divide the suffrages Of
the people neglect or refuse to incorporate
into their platform the principle OF prohibi.
ton, 1t may soon become the duty of all
Christians to give their earnest political
support to third party which shall give
promise OF greater fidelity to the interests of
humanity and the cause of God"

Presentation to "A Rabbi,

Rev. Mayer Messing rabbi of the Market
street temple, and his estmable wife were
given a reception last night, at the rooms of the
Standard Club, in the Bates block, the occasion
being the fifteenth anniversary of their mar
Fiage. Mr.. Messing has served the Hebrew con-
gregation here longer than any other rabbi. A
feature of the reception, of which the rabbi and
his wife had not been informed, and came as a
genuine and complete surprise was the presenta-
ton of an deliberately decorated dinner-serviee
of china - 125 pieces. The presenta-
ton speech was made by Joseph Solomon, in
neat ana fitting terms, and Mr.. Messing, though
considerably embarrassed, made an appropriate
reply. The evening was filed out with banquet
and dancing.

Conservation of the First Evangelical
Church-A Brief History of the Organiza-
ton.
The dedicatory exercises of the First Church
of the Evangelical Association were held yester
day. In the morning Bishop Duhbs, of Cleve-
land, preached in the German language on 1.-THE
resurrection OF Christ" the text of his dis
course being St. Matthew xviii, g. Corinth-
ihns XIV, So. The formal dedicatory service was
held at the conclusion of the sermon The
bailding committee presented the keys of the
new church to the bishop, and he, in turn, de-
lvered them to the trustees, who were author
lied, in few appropriate remarks to take pos
session of the property. Special prayers we're
then offered, aud the congregation was dis
missed.
The Evangelical Church, Which, since its con-
sOiidatOn with the mission church, is the only
one of the denomination IN this city, was organ
lied in 1853, with n membership of abont TWEEN
ty-five. Among the first members were Messrs
Aldag, Shaub Helwig, Koehler, Hartmann aud
Pelcer. The first church building was a small
frame structure on New Jersey street, which is
now used mattress factory. Services were
held here until last year. The erection of the
new church building was begun in 1882, and the
corner stone ceremonies were held in November
of that year The membership of the church
now numbers $50. The new building, together
with the pastors residence, situated in the
of the church, cost $4,000,
and nearly the whole of the sum
has been collected The church building ia
constructed of brick and includes an auditorium,
with a seating capacity of between 500 and 600;
a Sunday and lecture room, and five class
rooms. 1t is we'll carpeted and the furnishing is
complete. The church organ was made in this
city. The present pastor of tine church is Rev.
M. HOehner, who came here from Fort Wayne
last April. He has twice before been the pas
tor, the first time in 1868 and the second time
in 1871.
Services were held in the afternoon by Bishop
Dubbs, who preached in the English language,
Oh the subject of "The faultessness of Christ"
being Y. d.
at the services, both night and day, was quite
large.
Services were held again last evening. Anon g
the ministers who were in attendance were Rev.
Peters, OF lions Church; Rev. Wilke, of the
German Methodist; Rev. Bradley, of Evans
vile; Rev. Stier, of GRANVILLE; Rev. Amos Ire
ner of Warsaw; Rev. Trainer, of Julietta; Rev.
