CLEPHANE, James Ogilvie:
Promoter of inventions; was born of Scotch parentage Feb. 21, 1842; was edu- cated as a lawyer, but before he had an opportunity to enter actively upon the practice he became interested in the subject of typewriters, believing that some method could be adopted by which printed matter could be substituted for manuscript; he gave a great deal of thought to the subject, and finally learn- ing that Charles T. Moore, of West Vir- ginia, had made one or more inventions in this line, he sent for him and started him at work on an invention for the pur- pose indicated; later he engaged Ottmar

Mergenthaler to carry out his ideas in this direction. The result was the inven- tion of the present linotype machine; he has remained actively associated with the enterprise, and is still a director in the Linotype Company; while he had Mr. Moore at work developing his invention he also aided Mr. Sholes in perfecting and introducing what is known to-day as the Remington Typewriter; he like- wise was instrumental in having de- veloped the graphophone, and after its development organized the American Graphophone Company; this machine is the invention of Profs. Graham Bell and Sumner Tainter; he also organized and became president of the Horton Basket Machine Company, and the Locke Steel Belt Company. He is now engaged in de- veloping the planograph, a machine which, in connection with the processes to be used in conjunction therewith, will, it is claimed, take the place of all other typewriters at present in use, as well as all typesetting machines, and do away with electrotyping and stereotyping.

CLEWS, Henry:
Banker. He is English by birth, com- ing from an old family of Staffordshire. His father, making a business journey to this country, brought with him his son, not yet fifteen, and found the boy so fas- cinated with the enterprise of the Ameri- can people that he yielded to his desire to remain and engage in business life in New York and obtained for him a position as junior clerk in the large wool-importing house of Wilson G. Hunt & Co., where he remained a number of years, gradually advancing in position. In 1859 he begame a member of the newly- organized banking firm of Stone, Clews & Mason; soon after its organization a change took place in the firm, its name becoming Livermore, Clews & Co .; it was well established and doing a good business at the outbreak of the Civil War, a con- test which proved highly to its advantage. Mr. Clews held the highest confidence in the ability of the government to suppress the rebellion, was outspoken in his de- fence of the Union cause, and was in consequence selected by Secretary Chase as the agent for the sale of the bonds issued by the government to meet the extraordinary expenses of the war; these bonds were not very favorably received by the business world, many financiers regarding them as very risky securities; but Mr. Clews, though he knew the treas- ury was empty, had the utmost faith in the strength and ability of the govern- ment and the recuperative power of the North, and not only sank every dollar of his own in the bonds, but borrowed large- ly for the same purpose, bringing him- self seriously into debt; the task he had undertaken was one of magnitude and difficulty, and his exertions in its success- ful prosecution have become a matter of history; in 1864 his firm subscribed to the national loan at the rate of from five to ten millions a day. After the war he made banking his distinctive business, though he retained his valuable commis- sion business in government bonds. The revival in railroad interests that followed offered one of the most valuable fields for investments, and his house. engaged in the negotiation of railroad bonds in Eu- rope, a line of business in which it became extensively engaged. The present firm of Henry Clews & Co. was formed in 1877. Its business has grown until is it
now probably wider and more varied than that of any other banking house in the country. Mr. Clews has always taken a deep interest in American politics, but merely to the extent of securing good government, he persistently declining to accept an official position; twice the port- folio of the Treasury Department has been tendered him, and as often the Re- publican nomination for mayor of New York, but business interests have in each

case forced him to decline these proffered honors; he also declined the post of col- lector of the port of New York, offered him by President Grant, and subsequently conferred upon General Arthur; yet he has not hesitated to act when reform became imperative, and to him is due the credit of originating and organizing the famous Committee of Seventy, before whose assault the Boss Tweed ring went
down. His views on public or business affairs are broad and liberal, his opinions on the latter topic being particularly ex- pressed in his book entitled "Twenty- eight Years in Wall Street," a work of great literary merit and which has called out highly favorably comment; he served for many years as treasurer of the Ameri- can Geographical Society and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was one of the founders of the Union League Club, has been a member of the Union Club, and is connected with many other institutions of the city; married Lucy Madison Worthington, of Kentucky, grand niece of President Madison.
