WILL RESIGN.
Schlesinger Will Retire and the
Creditors Will Take Charge of
All His PrODerty.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 7.-Presi-
dent Ferdinand Schlesinger, of the
Chaplin Mining company. and the head
of the great Schlesinger mining syndi-
cate. will tender his resignation within
three days to take effect at once.
The company has given its creditors
absolute control of its property, which
includes lease of the famous Chaplin
mine. with the understanding that after
all the indebtedness is cleared away
the property shall return to the
stockholders of the company. 1t
was only after this agreement
was made by all parties interested
that MIR. SchieSinger, who is practi-
cally the ChapIn Mining company,
consented 10 being retired. The plan
of the creditors to realize on their
claims against the company is we'll ar
ranged on a business basis, which
promises 10 protect the property against
utter decentralization and enable all the
banks i'll Milwaukee holding paper of
the Chaplin Mining company to realize
on the basis OF 100 cents OH the dollar
with interest. 1t originated in the
mind of Washington Becker. receiver
of the Mitchell bank, and has been ac-
ceDted by the creditors in every detail
as we'll as by Mr.. SchleSinger. LII order
to make the plan plain, IL Is necessary
to refer to the lease under which Schles-
niger operated the nine, and to
show its possession by the de-
posed president. The lease was is
sued years ago by the Chapins
the owners of the mine, to =. }. Hager-
man, formerly of Milwaukee, and now
resident of Colorado. Mir. Hagerman
made fortune ont OF the investment,
and afterwards sold the lease to the
Van Dykes, or more correctly
speaking. the Menomonie Mining
company. This corporation worked the
mine and made a fabulous fortune
out of ii. Then Schlesinger saw an Op-
DOrtunity to secure II, so he organized
the Chaplin company and purchased the
lease of the MenomOnie company, pay
Ing for it S1.400,O0O. Besides the
lease he invested about 100000
in improving the property so that the
Chaplin cOmpany'S Investment repre-
SCENTS an actual investment of over
81, 000,000. The fee owners of the mine,
VINO are the Chapins, by the terms of
law are paid an annual rental and
a liberal royalty OH every ton of ore
that is taken ont of the mine.
This makes them active among the
creditors to secure claims. and places
them in direct relation to SchleSinger's
company as regards its Indebtedness
The arrears of royalties due the Cha
pins amount to about 100000.

Donald has caused sensation here.
The failure of the bank was bad enough,

which there is nothing to show.
1t has also been discovered that Just

bonds amounting to 97.O00. and that
this sum was taken to New York last
week by McDonald'S confidential clerk,
a. l.. Jenkins. The only security for
this money is old DR.. McDonald's real
estate, which was supposed to be good
for some or the banks deficit. As this
property had been used as collateral, the
doctors brother will now have to bear
the heavy responsibility, as Daniel
Meyer, another heavy stakeholder, last
year assigned all his holdings to a
nephew in order to escape RESPONSE

Cling to suspenders.

Ouldld Dee.
The stout man who wears a tight belt
around his waist to give him an appear
ance of jauntness. as well as to do the
suspender service. does not know what
harm he is doing to himself. A famous
doctor says that the wearing of tight
belt by man. especially stout man, is
most Injurious to health. 1t stops the
circulation. and does not permit the
digestive organs to operate as they
should. When asked why it should be
SO much more injurious for a man TO
wear anything tight around his waist
than it Is for a woman, who is laced I'D
year in and year out, the doctor said:
"A man and woman can'tbe compared
in that regard. A man uses entirely
different muscles in breathing than a
woman. lie becomes accustomed TO
breathing from his abdomen. while a
woman breathes almost entirely from
her chest. Men had better wear loose
belts and provide some other substitute
for suspenders."
