 have seen enough incidents of this peculiar feature of street life in Manila to fill a volume The other day saw something shall long remember. It was down in the Juiapo district.

 Another scene which 1 shall never forget was one witnessed in the out skirts of the city only a few days ago. As was passing along a street saw a poor. miserable woman sitting on a stone with an infant in her arms As passed she arose and intercepted me. holding out her hand for money. When I hesitated a moment, her plesdings were incessant, and. although l under stood not a word of the Tagale language, the appeal was most eloquent but not to be compared with her thanks when the solicited coin was given.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 10. Captain
Adolph Freitsch, the Milwaukee navi-
gator, started today on a 10000 mile
900 by rail and 1000 across
the stormy Pacific in a 2i-fOOt sail
boat. I4e has found a hacker for his
venture, and the contract was closed
yesterday afternoon a: Chicago.
A. r. Bremen, Il 10 81 Ia Sale S..

vigator. The agreement on the part
OF Freitsch is that ne Is to- build his
own boat within twenty-four days after
San Francisco. and tina; he
will reach Honolulu in twent y-one
days sailing from the Golden Gate. and
Will reach Manila in forty-two days
from the time he leaves Honolulu. The
vessel will be named the Coke. will be
twenty-four feet on the water line. Hat
bottomed. with a heavy cen,erbOard.
Capt. F'reitsch says that If his vOy-
age TO Manila is successful. as he hopes
it will be, he may continue on around
the Cape OF Good Hope. and so make
the trip back across tue Atlantic, thus

Capt. Freitsch is n Milwaukeean who
has made for himself by the perform
ance of similar feats to the one which
he is now about to- attempt n great

lantic in a forty-foot schooner called
the Nina, performing the trip alone.
1t took him just thiriy-four days and
three hours TO make 5000 miles from
Sandy Hook light TO Teereght, AMI the
performance attracted worldwide at
tention at the time. Later he made
two trips across Lake Michigan from
Milwaukee to the East shore and re-
turn during the stormy fall weather
in a skin rugged with a sail. He was
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
in a small schooner built
by himself in this city was abandoned.
and since that time the captain has
been planning other ventures. appar-
