or another. The most striking things about
that list are the great diversity Of callings
represented and the fact that it Is remark
ably wel1~balanced list. There is not, as
among the Irish, an overwhelming number Of
clergy, Judges and politicians, or Of educators
and clergy as among the Scandinavians,
or business men as among the Scots, or of
musicians and educators as among the Ger

Americans, bankers. professors, stage celebri

divided.
The records OF the achievements Of the

having on the financial and industrial de-

fact has led me to glance back through the

this race Of practical men Of dogged perse-

Henry Clews and Jas. r. Keene

In compiling my list of 400 famous Eng

interesting and nationally important
career in the line Of industry than that of
Henry Clews, who has been the most active
kind of Wall street banker for iftysix years
continuously. just think that over mo-
ment, We have been told repeatedly that
the excitement Of the stock exchange, Of
panics, of the general Wall street hurly-buIly
sends men to early graves Mr.. Clews GER
tainly bellies the statement
He is the third Oldest member Of the New
York stock exchange, one of the i've Oldest
members Of the New York Chamber OF
of the Union League club, organized in 1858
to aid the United States government during
the Civil war; and be is the second Oldest
Yet MT. clews is daily In the great bank
ing house Of Henry Clews & Co., the spryest
man in the place, and after banking hours
on fair days may be seen walking briskly and
air, which Is one Of the secrets of his youth
full old age. He is of the most demo
cratic OF our millionaires.
Mr.. Clews was born in Staffordshire, Eng
land, in 1870. and his boyhood education was
directed with a view to his entering the
ministry. But a visit TO the United States
changed his course from the church to Wall
street. When he was seventeen he organized
banking firm and met with so much sue
cess that when the Civil war broke out the
secretary OF the treasury, Salmon r. Chase,
selected him as the fiscal agent of the gov
ernment for the sale Of bonds issued to carry
on the war Our securities were considered
mighty risky investment, but Mr.. Clews
was optimist and made enough others feel
that way to turn many million dollars into
the treasury, and he divided with Jay. Cooke
the honors of the success Of the financial side
Of the war
AS recognition Of this General Grant
appointed Mr., Clews fiscal agent Of the gov
ernment for all foreign nations Twice has
Henry Clews declined the treasury portfolio
offered to him by presidents; twice. has he
refused the Republican nomination for
mayor of New York and when President
Grant rendered him tho collectorship of the
port OF New York be declined and recon-
mended Chester A. Arthur, who received the
appointment.
Another of the most interesting careers on
Wall street, and certainly one Of the most
spectacular, was that Of another English
American, James r. Keene, who recently
died. James Keene was poor boy In tho
streets Of London, but coming here IN 1852
ne became a California miner, destined for
Monte Cristo experiences. During the
bonanza period Of the '70s he accumulated

and for thirty-fve years kept the hnanciers

stock operations. and the followers of the

Father of American Railroads.

just take our railroad history for instance
John Stevens, the grandson Of an English
immigrant, started it, for he was the father
Of American railroads, and he was a. 67.year-
old father when he did it, too. He got the
first railway charter in 1915 after a three
year fight with the New Jersey legislature.
He was sneered at and jeered 1T by the
legislators, but little things like that seem
never to deter determined men OF English
blood. Eleven years later when he was 78,
he succeeded In completing the first steam
railway In the United States, which was only
a short belt line In Hoboken, N j., but that
was the beginning Of q system that has
welded together all parts Of our continent,
system with mileage greater than that Of
all the railways In all foreign countries com
bined
Doubtless the two greatest factors In our
national development have been the railroads
and the multiplicity of newspapers. And
rs we owe the first railway to the genius and
doggedness of man of English blood, so we
owe the development Of the newspaper to
an Englishnan more than to anyone else
That man was Robert Hoe, who came here
Of the greenest Of immigrants from Lei
cester, but had not been with US long
before be began constructing printing
presses of new kind, the kind that turned
out papers go rapidly and economically that
news and general enlightenment could be cir
culated several times day at the cost of the
smallest coin in the land. AS the railroads
developed mile a-minute speed so did the
newspaper printing presses.
New England owes Its textile industry,
which has been second TO none in the pro-
duction of millionaires. to the retentive
memory and inventive genius of an English
man. It was Samuel Slater, At the close Of
the Revolution the selling of British ma
chinery TO Americans was forbidden by law.
Just at that time our industrial needs
quired few things more than cotton mills
Cotton spinning machines were very compli-
Gated affairs, but Thomas Slater studied
from top to bottom In England and actually
carried it to this country In his mind.
He not only built and equipped our first cot
ton mill, but founded family line of textile
magnates that is still among the most in
duential In the business.
I could keep on indefinitely telling inter
esting tales of our English industrial pioneers
who have long since departed, but prefer to
write mainly Of the living
