founder of the Grand United Order of
True RefOrmers. He is a magnetic
speaker and has the great faculty of
drawing people to him. The whole
purpose and object in organizing the
insurance company, in establishing the
American Herald and the bank, has
been to bring the financial forces OF the
cOlOred people of Philadelphia together.
The cOlOred people should be trained
up to save their money. They should
be trained up to put their monies to-
gether and in such way that it can
be operated by coiored men themselves.
Mr.. Clinton hopes to see. as the fruit
of his work, large dry goods stores in
Philadelphia, groceries, coloIed men
owning stock IN the street railways and
their money invested in every channel
where the white mans money is invest
ed. He has the morsl support and

the work. The Herald has proven 8
success. Out of these two forces have
grown the bank which is known as the
First ColOred Bank North. 4 great
many thousand shares of this bank
stock have been sold and the sale of
shares is going at rapid Iace. Mr..
Clinton has surrounded himself with
some Of the strongest forces in Phila~
delphia and already has the moral sup
port of the solid AtrC-AmericaDs not
only of Philadelphia, but or the entire
state Of Pennsylvania.
To him credit is due fer organizing
the insurance company; for establish
ing the American Herald and for found
ing and establishing the bank, which
is a chartered Institution of the state
Of Pc npsyIvsnia. Mr. Clinton has caIle

A NEGRO FINANCIER,
Mr.. John Clinton, Jr., President of the
First CO,Ored Bank North His Plans
and Policies and his Practical Methods,

q new star has risen in the financis
ii -mament and, like the staIs of old, IT
came from the East. Mr.. John Clinton
Jr,, the president Of the First COI0reC
Band North, has set to motion sgen-
cies for the development of the race
that have lain dormant for years. The
AfrO.AmeTican has advanced along 81
the lines Of civilization ard progress.
In the school room, in the pul pit, in
politics and In the field Of labor, ne is 8
graduate. 1t Is left, however, for the
new aud coming leaders OF the race to
develop along special lines. In every
community where there is any consid-
erable number Of cOlOred people Oppor-
tunities exist for just such enterprises
as Is being so successfully devt Ioped
and conducted by Mr.. Clinton and his
cC-WOrkers, The AfrO-American has
been and is today cipher in the world
Of commerce and finance. These chan.
nels, where the large amount OF money
is made and where men are permitted
20 get FiCh the quickest, are ignored
entirely by the colored people. They
nave been satisfied to sit and sing "You
may have sll the world, give me Jesus. !"
In the city Of Philadelphia, as in
Was hingtOn, in New CLEANS, in Rich
mOnd, in St. Louis and many other cit
les Of the country the cClOred people
lives in great numbers. They spend
large amounts of money among the
merchants in their several cOmmuni-
ties, but no l-ader has sprung up to
organized the business forces of the
race by which thousands upon thou
sands Of dollars are spent, to control it.
Coming trom Richmond, therefore, q
few years ago, it was not at all surpTis-
ing that Mr.. Clinton, who had served
his apprenticeship by working in stores
insurance companies and in places
where money was to take advantage o
the great opp ]rtunities which Philadel
phia offered for the establishing of 1
bank.
Here he found large number of in
telligent, thrifty and enterprising col
ored people spending their money b.
the thousands every day. He found n
large concerns conducted by Afro
Americans other than newspapers, ic
cream parlor, churches, lyceUms an
saloons. Being practical financier, b
started about to organize an insuranc
company and the result was the Unite
Aid and Beneficial League, one Of tn
strongest organizations in the cOuntr.

granted, but it is modified considerable
IN respect to the concessions asked
One of the provisions incorporated in
the recommendation is that the river fill
shall be made in accordance with the
plans submitted by the city and United
States engineers. This arranges for the
fill to commence at the Great Western
bridge and extend to point below Broad
way, instead of beginning at Sibley
street. as at first proposed. This will
not Interfere with The shore line, and will
give sufficient levee room.
Another concession demanded by the
city is the deciding to the city of the lot
at Second and Sibley streets and now
in the possession of the Milwaukee road
This lot is to be used in the widening
of Si5ley street. The company is also to
bear its portion of the expense incurred

WIS NOT KIND
MRS BJoRNSTAD TELLS A TALE OF
OF WOE IN PETITION FOR
DIVORCE
WAS DRAGGED BY HER HAIR
Two Years of Married Life Has Con-
WINGED Her That Single BIes-
a. ssdness Is More to BE
Preferred.

Agnes Marie Bjornstad has applied for
g divorce from her husband julius j.
BjoFnstad
According to the complaint, which was
filed in the district court yesterday, she
is twenty-siX and he thirty-one years of
age They were married in st. Paul,
Feb. IA, 1899 and she states that he is at
present employed by thes Germania Life
insurance company at a salary Of $40
per month. They have one child, a girl
about year old
The plaintiff charges her husband with
cruel and inhuman treatment and al
leges that during the months of Aug
Sept. and Oct, 1899, when they were liv-
ing at the Argyle flats, he dragged her
about the room by her hair. Nov. 10,
1899, She says he seized her by the neck,
crushed her head against the wall and
violently rubbed his knuckles across her
nose and face, badly diseoloring her nose
and lips and injecting great humiliation
on her. She also alleges that Nov. IS,
1899, he came home under the influence
of liquor and used the same treatment
toward her again.
Continuing, the plaintiff alleges that
early in the month of December, 1899,
shortly after she had given birth to their
child, while she was still confined to her
bed, the defendant came home one night
her nose and face, causing her great
pain. Finally on Feb. 49, 1900, he chased,
and catching her, tore her hat from her
head and stamped on it In rage.
Being unable to stand it any longer,
and in fear of her life, she says she left
him and went to live with her folks. 1t
ran along this way for about three
months when one day she returned to
live with her husband upon his promise
to treat her kindly. This was in June.
1860, and according to the complaint he
did treat her kindly until along in Oc-
tober, when he again broke loose and
struck and beat sher. She says they
lived at 291 Atwater street and that he
came home at midnight under the influ-
ence of liquor and not finding supper,
struck and beat her. Then again she
alleges that he came home on Christmas
night about midnight and threatened to
kill her. Fearing for her life, she left
him and now seeks a divorce. She also
asks for suitable alimony and attorneys
fees.
R. A Walsh is the attorney for the
plaintiff.
