Two Comrades, Rushing to Rescue, Pound SchI0sser's Foe With Pole and Chain Until He Let's (O His Hold and
 Man Falls Unconscious.

A Syrian bear ill the Bronx zoo, New York city. came near finishing the life of Fred SchIosser, keeper, the other day and for twenty minutes battled with two other keepers to keep his hu man prey Sch'osser was taken to Fordham hospital with his hands and legs ripped open and bruised all over. He lost great deal of blood. but will recover.
 Czar is the bears name. a brown fellow of 300 pounds. who has been the delight of children for months. He had the reputation Of being of good disposition. Schlosser entered Czar's cage, carrying broom and hauling iD after him line of hose with which to wash the place out. Car greeted the keeper with what sounded like a grun' of good fellowship, and Schlosser lost no time in going about his work.
 Sehlosser had almost finished clean ing the cage when his attention was distracted for a moment by the roar of lion i'll another part OI the zoo. he forgot the bear, which in an instant was upon him. With a powerful blow with one of it's paws. followed in a breath with q swing from the other, it had laid the keeper flat.
 Schlosser. knowing the ways of bears, flung up his arms wide apart as Car hurled bis 300 pounds on him and got the t;gIltest grip he could around it's body As he did so he buried his head in the fur in the bears throat All the while he had been yelling for help, but the minute or two that elapsed before his cries were answered seemed a year to him.

NOT AN INCH WOULD FEE BUDGE.

'climb ping" Schlosser. It was trying to break the hold of his arms by digging into his legs with its hind claws and forcing itself forward.
 "For Gods sake, hurry up," was all that Schlosser had the strength to say. The bear had paid no attention to the two men, who were getting into the cage. When he floored Schlosser he had cut one of the keepers hands, and taste of the blood, that came from the wound had made him crazy for more
 With chains and poles Kuminsky and Noonan laid on the bear, but not an inch would he budge from Schlosser's body. He turned his head from side to side and snarled at them. His eyes were bloodshot
 For twenty minutes the bear stood the beating without whimper. All Schlosser could do was to groan, and his rescuers saw his hands slipping inch by inch from the grip they had in the fur of the beast. Finally, with one swing across the snout with a piece of chain, N0onan forced Czar to break ground. Schlosser's arms fell at his sides, and his eyes closed n,suncon- sciousnesS.
 Once the bear was started in retreat the rescuers knew they had won the fight. While Noonan kept the be-. backing away, Kuminsky caught Schlosser by the heels and dragged him to safety. Then, with one last swing of his chain, Noonan leaped through the door and slammed it sh,,. in the face of Czar.

All Day Prisoner on Chimney.

While his fellow workmen made con tinuous but fruitless efforts to save him, John Burnett remained on ton of a 15o foot chimney at the Amer lean Nickel works, in Philadelphia from o'clock in the morning until g o'clock at night. Thousands of per sons lined the streets for blocks around and when Burnett was finally rescued by Joseph Corbett, an expert rigger the crowd yelled itself hoarse Burnett and several other men were preparing to tear down the chimney. The frame scaffold collapsed and Burnett had just time enough to grasp the top of the chimney.
