ILLINOIS SAYS THANK YOU
But Makes wry Face at Nebraska's
Corn Bread.

Springfield, Ill, jan 29.-The dawn of
prosperity broke over the state of Illi-
nois through its legislature in a strange
and unusual manner here today.
1t came in the shape of a resolution
unanimously adopted by the house of
representatives thanking the state of
Nebraska for the aid which it had ex-
tended to the suffering and starving
people of Chicago.
The resolution was offered by Rep
resentative Sullivan of Cook and read
as follows:
Whereas, The general assembly of
the state of Nebraska has adopted a
resolution devoting the surplus pro-
starving poor of Chicago, and has
thereby manifested a strong bond of
sympathy for a sister state;
Resolved, That the house of repre-
sentatives of Illinois hereby extends its
hearty thanks to the legislature of Ne
braska for its generous Offer
Speaker Pro Tenn Allen '-tumbled'' to
the significance of the resolution just as
he was about to put it to the house, and
shouted:
This may be all right. but I don't
believe Nebraska can take care of her
own poor"
The resolution went through however
and the strange spectacle was present
ed of the state of Illinois, that gave
$4,000 plurality for Mckinley and the
destruction of hard times, accepting aid
from Nebraska, the state of w J. Bry-
an, the cradle of free silver and the
home of Populism, which aid by the
way, the Legislature of Nebraska pro-
poses to distribute through ex-GoV J.

DIR. ABBOTT'S DEFENSE
He Declines to Take Back Anything
That He Said.

New York, Jan. 29-Referrine to the
resolution passed by the Manhattan
Congregational association objecting
to his treatment of the subject of
Jonah and the Whale, Tin a recent series
of sermons, DR.. Lyman Abbott, in an
interview last night, said:
THE resolution does not define the
nature of the objection which the min
listers took to the course of Sunday
evening sermons If the objection is
Ieveled against spirit of irreverence
which was imputed to me by some of
the morning papers of Mondays issue,
L agree with the criticism but as a mat
ter of fact, l dOn'S think the sermon
of Sunday night was lacking in rever-
ence either to God, the Bible or the
story of Jonah, or the religious faith of
those who believe it to be history
did not compare it to the Pickwick pa
pers, and the sermon was not greeted
with frequent laughter. There was
laughter at one point. and that was due
to the incOngruity of the story itself as
told in pictorial language
whether the book of Jonah is to be
regarded as a history or as a satirical
picture leveled against the narrow
mindedneSS of the religious teachers of
the Jewish people, and to teach the uni
versal mercy of God, is a question to be
determined by the simple examination
of the book itself One view is as rev.
erent and as consistent with belief in
inspiration as is the other''
Among the ministers of Brooklyn,
many feel that the association was JUS
titled in taking the action it did.
The Rev. J. F. Brenhends of the Cen
trail Congregational church said:
What we did was not to attack any
one, but to set the association right be-
fore the community. DR.. Abbott speaks
of many things as settled by modern
Biblical scholars which have been in
controversy for years and upon which
opinions are still divided. With no
prejudice against literary criticism, the
arguments do not produce positive con-
viction. That the book of Jonah be-
longs to sarcastic literature is certainly
a novel claim. There is hardly an inn
portant statement which DR.. Abbott has
made which I should not be compelled
seriously to qualify, and there are
statements from which 1 should en-
phatically dissent
A leading pastor, who considers the
association followed the right course,
but who agrees with DR.. Abbott'S views
on Jonah, is Rev. Samuel Eliot, a son of
President Eliot of. Harvard.
One or two members of Plymouth
church expressed themselves very de-
cidedly on the resolution of the Man
haitian association, Thomas G.. Hearne
and General Horatio c. King saying:

JOE WATERS HOPES.
Wants Cordial Welcome Extended
Him at the Pearly Gates.

Capt. ]. G. Waters has received an Of
fer from firm in the east who say that
they have heard of him and the distinc-
tion to which he has attained and as they
are about to publish a biographical COL
lection of the distinguished men of the
country they request that he furnish one
with a photograph of himself. Such an
extraordinary communication moved the
muse and following is the reply Captain
Waters sent:
I've done my best to stave off fame;
I've kept away from wealth and name,
I've Spurned the liquor beady red,
And want no praise alive or dead.
To pay you for biograph,
a cloth edition in calf,
To ring the changes down all time,
l have no postage stamp or dime.
/ want no monumental stone,
Just simply to be left alone:
And if there is a God on high
With cherubS in the upper sky,
In words of everlasting light
Then you will find my record right.
/ fondly hope when eyes shall close,
My body laid in last repose,
My disem bodied soul SO true,
Shall wing it's way the ether through,
/ then shall see beside the gate,
CeleStials, foot and horse, my presence
wait,
And hear all Eden's sons and daughters
Tear their Threats to welcome Waters
