MILWAUKEE. Feb. 13. Cap.aln
Adolph Freitsch, the Mi wank navi
gator, st art oil today on a 10.1'uO mile
journey 3.000 by rail and T.OoO acres.
tho stormy Pacific in a 21-foot sail
boat. e has found a backer for h!s
venture, and the contract wjh clcd
yesterday afternoon a: Chicago.
A. It. Dremer. V to 21 I-a Sail 5:..
Chicago, will baciv the Mllvauk na
vigator. The agreement on th part
of Freitsch is that he U to build h'.s
own boat within twenty-four days af:r
reaching San Francisco, and thrc: he
will reach Honolulu In twenty-one
days sailing from the Golden (late, and
will reach Manila in forty-two days
from the time he leaves Honolulu. Tlic
vessel will be named the Coke, will be
twenty-four feet on the water line, Mat
bottomed, with a heavy ccn:crboard.
Capt. Freitsch says that if hU voy
age to Manila i3 successful, as he hopes
it will be, he may continue on around
tno Cape of Good Hope, and so make
the trip back across tue Atlantic, thin
circumnavigating tho g!ol a fw:
which would be without a piral! un
der such conditions.
Capt. Freitsch is a .Milwaukcean who
has made for himself by thr perform
ance of similar feats to the one which
he is now about to attempt a great
name. In 1S91 he sailed across the At
lantic in a forty-foot schooner called
the Nina, performing thV trip alone.
It took 'him just thirty-four days and
throe hours to make r.,000 miles from
Sandy Hook light to Teereght. nml the
performance attracted -world-wide at
tentlon at tho time. I-ater he made
two trips across Iake Michigan from
Milwaukee to the East shore and re
turn during the stormy fall weather
in a skift rigged with a sail. He was
almost given up for lost on his return
trip, as he was much longer in making
the crossing than was expected.
'A later attempt to sail down the
Mississippi in a small schooner built
by himself in this city was abandoned.
and since that time tho captain has
been planning other ventures, appar
ently only satisfied "when he U risk
Ing his life in some manner.

The Peculiar Arrangement of a Hon?'

' (Chicago Times-Herald.)
"I ran across one of the queerest ho

a drummer just In from a trip. "I
don't care -to advertise the establish

It's situated in a city made by nearly
all traveling men out of New Or
leans, and is run by an eccentric old
chap who has named his rooms after
states, Instead of given them num
bers. The effect is somewhat start
ling. I went there first to inquire for
a friend. Yes. he's in Maine, replied
the clerk, when I mentioned the name.
'But he isn't in Maine,' I protested.
'for 1 happen to know he's right here
in this hotel.' Then he explained
While I was Handing t!i:rt waiting,

to make a man crazy. Gonl In Mas

boy; 'claims dat feller in' Utah is a'.l

'Put him la Montana.' replied the
clerk. 'No towels in North Dakota,'
said a chambermaid, aud that fat
man in 1 iorida wants ;o b changed
to Vermont. My frieud came down
looking very rocky. He said he'd been
sitting in a little poker game in Khole
Island the night before and woke up
in California. Didn't know how the
dickens he got there. The place Inter
ested me. and I could hardly tear my
self away. My friend assured me that
it was run strictly according to state
traditions. He was in Maine at first,
bait they refused to send any beer to
his room on account of the prohibi
tion law, so he had them change him
aross the hall to Kentucky, and now
he likes it so well he has concluded to
stay indefinitely."
Oratorio Evening.
Next Thursday evening at S o'clock
the Oratorio Concert will be given in
the Kaumakapili church. Three num
bers from the works of the great mas
ters will be playeil .by the Amateur Or
chestra "with the large organ. Two
numbers on the program will b tilled
by Mrs. Geo. V. .Macfarlane whose
fine singing is sure to be a very h ad
ing attraction. There will also. In? a
ladies trio, violin and violoncello so
los, tenor solos, and a Hawaiian cho
rus. The concert Is for the benefit of
the Kaumakapili church funds, anc'

4 bbls. Arctic Engine Oil.
The use of the Vacuum
Oils is increasing in all the
markets of the world The
explanation of this is no
doubt in part due to the fact
that the Vacuum Oil Com
pany uses petroleum frcm
wells which show no traces
of asphaltum.
Asphaltum is very injuri
ous to machinery, and cheap
