He Declares Himself Committed to That
Principis-His Opinion of tho Recent
Savannah Riot.
Rev DR.. Merritt Hulburd, of Grace M.
E Church. made the recent riot at
Savannah, Ga, when a mob attacked the
hall where an alleged ex priest and bis
wife were TO speak, the theme of q short
prelude to his regular sermon last even
ing. he said that this nation stood
committed to freedom Of speech. and our
forefsthers dared to do and die in de-
fense OF this principle He was
ready to carry musket il need
be, in defense of any Catholic
priest In this city who might be denied
the right Of free speech Hs neither
knew this ex priest nor did he care any
thing for him, but he should have been
allowed to exercise his right to express
his opinion, and the government should
see tnat he was backed In that right.
The reverend doctor did not believe
that the time would come when all
branches of the Christian church would
become an organic unity, but be did
believe that the day was not far distant
when there would be more spiritual
unity. He prayed God that day would
be hastened.

This fad for white oysters never

no pure white oysters. The oyster
takes his color from his surroundings

There is no way that know of to mako

"Bleached oysters" is the latest and
arapidly growing fad. The fashionable
uptown restaurants are catering to it.
An oyster that does not peer forth
snowy white from tho depth of its shell
Is considered bad form. 1t does not
appear that the Albino-hued bivalve
Is improved by tho blanching process.
In fact, it is held by all fair-mindcd
people who have tried them that the
flavor which gives our oysters their
superiority over all the bivalves of the
world is destroyed entirely. But they
are said by self-constituted authori-
titcs to look better, and it is tho
fashion to have them served that way.
The course of treatment to which
the luscious shollfish is subjected to
bringo about the pale and ghostly hue
is the secret OF tho restaurant men.
The wholesale oyster dealers know
nothing about it.
