Tf , the performing seals which attractad so muU attention last year, did not appear and every body wondered why. The fact Is that their lumber was suddenly reduced from six to two while the audience was gathering, by a lamentable accident caused by the Po'ar bear. The bear cage ani the seal cage, which both have doors in the r. ar, were backed up against each other, and' Schaam, who is popularly known in the cir cus business as "'Seals," because he makes seals his special care, was in tha bear cage cleaning it. The habitual occupant of the cage resented nis intrusion and made a dash at him. Schaam backed up ugainst the unlocked door, which yielded, an 1 he stumbled back through, carrying him also through the seal cage door iuto the cage of his special pets. The bear followed him and bit Schaam's leg savagely, taking a piece of the flesh out. But the brute's attention was easily diverted by the saals, which form his staple food in the Arctic home. He killed four of the poor animals in quick succession and proceeded to eat them. Schaam called for help an 1 the bear was driven back "to his cage. The in jured man's leg was dressed and he was taken to his horni-. The seals camo from Norway. They were very highly trained and very valuable. RIVERS OF HOT TEA. , Over a Million Dollars Worth Ruined by Fire and Water in Chicago. The Central warehouse, at the corner of Rush and North Water streets, Chicago took I fire and with its valuable store of teas and ) coffees, was burned to the ground, entailing j an estimated loss of between $1,250,000 and I $1,500,000. As the water from dozens of engine nozzles i soaked down the contents of the building the ! basement was soon filled with water, and when the 4J.000 cases of tea began to brew I streams of tea gushed from the windows and ' doors. The dock for a distance of 100 feet : was flooded with the amber-colored liquid I that poured like a small citaract into the i river. The steam arising from this perfumed the air blocks away. The buiiding was a six-story hrick struc ture, which cost, when built in 1872, $50,000. Alfred Manniere, the manager, is satisfied 1 that the fire was of incendiary origin.
