Christmas in Chicauo.

Chicago, December 25.-A feature of the Christmas celebration in Chicago was the bountiful provision made to carry good cheer to the poor.
 If a man, woman or child remained hum gry it was not the fault of those who dls- tributed Christmas greetings in the head quarters. The Salvation Army fed, all told, about 5000 and light luncheon to equally as many who were unable to at- tend the first spread.
 Eight thousand men were given their dinner in the eighteen barns of the Union Traction Company.

Opportunity.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Opportunity has been~in hiding at the outskirts of the town for many days.
 "I must exercise great care in passing through the town,' said he, flor everyone seems possessed of desire to capture me."
 There came at last dark, gloomy. dis agreeable day.
 This is my chance" said Opportunity, "for few people will be abroad this day." So. with trembling, cautious footsteps he started along the path which Fate had de- creed he must travel.
 Ere long he spied the Pessimist coming toward him. His head was bowed and he was muttering to himself:
 Such weather The pleasant days have fled and the stormy season is upon us, and now I shall never find Opportunity for whom I have so long been seeking. He will surely never venture out in this beast " weather. Woe is me! Woe is mei'
 And while he was thus engaged in be- moaning affairs Opportunity slipped by un- seen.
 A little farther down the street Opportu- nifty discovered the Optimist also coming to meet him. The Optimists head not bowed. On the contrary, he was gazing at the heavens and exultantly exclaiming:
 'Ah, behind you dark clouds the sun is still shining. Soon, soon it will dry mists and penetrate wonder dark veil, and then ah, then Opportunity will come out into the welcome sunlight and I will find him.. D While he was thus communing Opportunity shied past unobserved and went on his way rejoicing
 "Ah, ha," he laughed, 'I am saved. I did not much fear the Pessimist, but I scarce expected to get by the Optimist so easily. Now I can breathe freely again." and so saying, he turned a corner and ran plumb into the arms of tine Alert man who had spied him afar off and was laying for him.

BULLET IN HIS HEART.
Man Lives Though that Vital Organ
 has been Pierced.

Chicago December 25.-The Chronicle to- morrow will say:
 Proof that a man may live with a bullet in his heart was afforded yesterday by the use of the X-ray upon Charles B. Nelson, of Cadillac, MioN., formerly Chicago man, who was in 1896 the central figure in a sen sationa shooting that nearly resulted in his death. Under the furorscope, the ball in Nelson's heart could be plainly seen rising and falling with each pulsation. The bullet had been there since the night of July l, 1S9f

The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON N1ARKE,

New York. Nov 13.-There was less
activity in cotton circles to-day. The
market opened steady with prices I'M
changed to five points lower. There
was further decline of 10014 points
and then Il sharp rally. The early east
ness was chiefly due to unsa tisfa tory
cables. Later, however, local condi-
tons became more energetic following
a rumor that NELL was ready with a
bullish cotton circular. This led to
some pretty active trading here, the
shorts became particularly interested
and Wall street and the South also
bought freely. Prices moved up 100Dl2
points from the lowest figures of the
forenoon The upward movement was
facilitated by indications OF colder
weather over the eastern and central
sections of the cotton belt and rains in
the western localities. At the same
time the Southern spot markets were
generally working towards higher
prices. Selling was chiefly for the pur-
pose of securing profits, although Il
few short accounts We're open on the
belief that instead of being now over
sold the market had recently been
overbought.
Futures closed steady with a net loss
of TGl0 points.

THE COPTIC.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 15.-
The Occidental and Oriental steamer
Coptic, which went ashore at Shimo-
noski, is expected to arrive here on the
30th. If she does, she will make rather
remarkable voyage. On her trip over
a case of plague was discovered on
board, presumably between Yokohama
and Kobe, for at the latter port she was
quarantined for ten days. She went on
to Nagasaki, Shanghai and Hong Kong
being locked at the latter port and
leaving there only three days late, hav-
ing made up seven days in the short
run. Leaving Hong Kong she made a
straight run for Nagasaki, cutting
Shanghai out of the trip, and she is
scheduled to- sail from Yokohama to-
morrow, only two days behind. 1t is
expected that when she reaches here
she will have lost but a day, notwith-
standing here handicap of ten days.
This reckoning is made on the as
sumption that her accident at Shimo-
noski, which is at the entrance of the
inland sea, will not detain her.

A NEW WHALER.
Joseph Manta's Venture in a Fine
Schooner,


Schooner Joseph A. Manta, which ar
rived at this port with a cargo of sperm
oil from the West Indies, is to be with
drawn from the service and sold, and
her place is TO he filled by a schooner
which is in the process of construction
at Essex, says the New Bedford Re-
publican Standard. The new schooner,
which is an ideal of her type, will have
all of the requirements of a modern
whaler, and will be named after her
owner, Joseph Mania. The Mania will
be 100 feet over all, "A feet beam and 91a
feet hold. She was designed by McLain
of Gloucester, is being built by Tarr &
James of Essex, and will hail from
Provincetown. After her completion
she will be brought to this port, where
she will be fitted out for a three years
voyage in the Atlantic. Captain A. j.
Frates, late commander of the Joseph
A. Mania, will have command, and as
he knows the Atlantic from stem to
stern, Mr.. Mania feels that his venture
in whaling even at this late day will
not prove barren of financial results.
When Captain Thomas Luce heard of
Mr.. Manta's undertaking he said: II
did not think there was an experienced
seaman living today who was foolish
enough to build a vessel of that type
for such a purpose" But Mr.. Manta
feels assured that the whaling indus
try is by no means yet extinct, as re-
cent arrivals from distant seas have
proven.
Mr.. Mania is extensively engaged in
the fishing business at Provincetown,
and owns the fleet composed of the
following vessels the first three of
which are of $50 tons BURDEN Gov
ernor Russell, JULIA Costa. Rosa Cabral,
Phelomina Mania, and the Zephyr.
