DO YOU sell more Maerzen than
any other dark beer | asked the
Hotel Chamberlin's manager.
Yes" and he put his statement
into writing: Its an elegant beer"
At the Cochran, Mr.. James E.
Galbrey, the proprietor, wrote out
his views of the Heurich Beer as
follows:
"Heurich's Beers are the princi-
pal beers we sell, both Senate and
Maerzen. They are the finest
brewed There is no doubt of that.
Our trade is demanding more Sen

The young man who was at the
desk OF the Gordon signed Gas. R.
Keenan, to the following statement
with the proviso that the opinion Of
the Arlington Hotel be also pub

popular with our customers. and
their popularity increases con-
stantly"

your interview with Mr.. Tally OF

"Gemutlichkeit" Analyzed.

| saw Mr.. Heurich for a moment
as the day drew to a close and he
commented upon the comprehen-
sive word used by the manager of
the Raleigh in the Post yesterday:
The German word gemutlichkeit
cannot be exactly translated into
English. 1t means a great dealt
means more than enjoyment. You
feel pleasant, you feel at home-it
means you enjoy yourself in every
respect, and very aptly expresses the
pleasure of drinking beer amid ar
tistic surroundings and ones friends
and family. That is the spirit of the
beer drinking that is becoming more
and more an American habit-one
OF the good things you may credit
to German influences"

Children in an Improvsed Tent Near "Rag

In All imnrov!seI tent near the huts OF
''Ragtown." AT No 100 Duncan street.
George harrington. once Il diver for the
United States Government. has been camp
ing with his two children for nearly a
week.
The man is AN invalid, az the result he
says of an accident in a diving bell, which
permanently affected his lungs and heart
In this condition the man. with his daugli-
ter of IL years and Il younger son, has lived
on scant rations six days. with practically
no protection from the recent rains.

those who might care for him, he has now
had 10 confess himself stranded.
1t was 81 years ago that George HarrinS-
ton was horn in Lansing. Mich His faith
er was a lnho-er who won his way to the
position of foreman in a lumber camp and
brought up his eight sons to the same work.
George. the youngest son. was 20 years old
at the outbreak of the Civil War. The ia

Union forces. the youngest son as IA ma
rinc.
When the two ironclads. the Merrimac
and the Monitor, met in battle. Harrington
was n witness to the defeat of the Confed-
crate boat When the wrecting fleet was
organized to raise the Merrimac, the Mich
igander was one of those asked to enlist
his services in that dangerous work. He
discovered the ships papers and the con-
structon plans of that strange craft.
After that Harrington was assigned to
one wrecking fleet after another. In the
Gulf of Mexico he met with the accident
which in its results has gradually broken
down his health.
After this accident Harrington seemed
to regain his strength. and for time con,
tinued the work of diving. He was engaged
in st. Louis in 1855 when the old Belle of
Memphis and the White Cloud sank at the
foot of Anna street. After that his health
compelled him to give over such arduous
labors and he went to Louisiana. where
he made a living for seven years shooting
alligators for their hides
While in Louisiana Harrington married
a young girl who had come tn admire him
as king of the swamp hunters. At her
death year afterward Harrington left that
section of the country and returned to
Michigan. Again he married. and his sec

CAUSES OF THE DEADLOCK.
Why Negotiations With China
Have Been DELAYED.

Pekin. July THE Minister of one of
the great Powers told the representative
of the Associated Press to-day that !, lead
ing cause for the apparent deadlock was
the fact that the various committees had
taken TO themselves too much authority in
dealing with tho Chinese. and had made
certain promises dependent upon the Chi
nese agreeing to certain conditions. which
other Ministers afterwards found il impus-
sible to accept.
Another factor of considerable impor-
tancc. he said. was the commercial fac
tor. involving the right of each Govern
ment to make its own treaties with China
and the application of the most favored ma
ton clause.
In his opinion. the first difficulty can he
overcome shortly. bat the commercial issue
must be eliminated or it is likely to prove
a definite stumbling block.
