LONERGAN, THOMAS S., 408 East One Hundred and Forty-ninth Street, New
York City, was born in Mitchelstown, Ireland, in the year 1864. He
received his early educational training from the Christian Brothers in
his native town and at St. Colman’s College, Fermoy. From early
boyhood he exhibited tokens of more than ordinary talents. He was fond
of books, particularly those on ancient and modern history, literature
and biography. He is today probably one of the best read men in
Anglo-Irish literature and Irish history in America; but he is by no
means less informed on the history, literature and politics of his
adopted country, for he is an American to the very backbone, and is
proud of his citizenship. He came to America in 1883, and lost no time
in becoming a full-fledged American citizen, immediately after which
he affiliated himself with the Democratic party. He had only been a
citizen two weeks when, during the presidential campaign of 1888, he
was placed on the list of campaign speakers by the Democratic State
Committee of New York. In the early nineties, he was an expert debater
in the leading literary societies of New York. Previous to that, he
was a member of the Young Men’s Congress of Boston. He is also a
writer and lecturer of ability. His lectures on “Christian Education,”
“The Golden Age of Ireland,” “Charles Carroll, of Carrollton,” “The
American Stage,” “General Thomas Francis Meagher,” “Irishmen in the
American Revolution,” “Jefferson and Lincoln,” “The Catholic Chapter
in American History,” “The Irish Renaissance,” “St. Brendan, America’s
First Discoverer,” “Christian Democracy,” “Wendell Phillips,”
“Socialism and Individualism” and “Newfoundland and Her People,” are
masterpieces. His eulogy on Leo XIII is a classic. Mr. Lonergan has
been with the _New York World_ for the past fifteen years, and is at
present manager of the Bronx office. He possesses not only literary
but executive abilities of a high order. During his residence in the
Bronx he has made hosts of friends and is well liked by all with whom
he comes in contact.

MCCARTHY, HON. PATRICK JOSEPH, Mayor of the city of Providence, R. I.,
1907 and 1908. Was born in County Sligo, Ireland, 1848, and was about
two years of age when his parents, Patrick and Alice (Cullen)
McCarthy, crossed the ocean. But they were destined to never reach the
mainland of free America, for both father and mother died while
waiting in quarantine, at Deer Island, Boston Harbor. Patrick J. was
the youngest of seven sons. He became the ward of a society connected
with the Catholic Cathedral in Boston, and remained with this society
until he was eight years old. During this time he attended the public
schools. Winters of following years, until he was fourteen, he
attended day school in Somerville, Mass., and night school at
Cambridge. About this time Professor Charles Elliot Norton, and some
of his college associates, one of whom was Charles William Eliot,
ex-President of Harvard University, organized a night school in old
Cambridge for working boys, and admitted boys residing in Somerville.
Advantage of this opportunity was taken and whenever speaking of this
period of his life, Mayor McCarthy expresses his admiration and
gratitude for Professor Norton. It was this association with true men
that did more to mould his character and direct his mind and thoughts
in the right direction than any other influence of his youth. In 1863
he removed to Providence, and while making his home with his brother
learned the trade of brass finisher. His ambition was to become master
of a business on his own account, and encouraged by a few successful
ventures in real estate, determined to qualify himself for business in
a proper manner. Realizing that a knowledge of law would be of great
advantage to him, he read and studied Blackstone’s and Kent’s
Commentaries on Law and made up his mind to choose law as a profession
instead of engaging in business, and after suitable preparation
entered the Law School of Harvard University. His accumulated savings
supported him during the time of the course of study, and he graduated
with the degree of LL. B. in 1876. Returning to Providence, Mr.
McCarthy was admitted to the Bar of Rhode Island. He was soon
possessed of a good clientage, and later was admitted to the Circuit
Court and Supreme Court of the United States. Being an ardent reader
and endowed with histrionic ability, the stage appealed to him, and
his evenings were spent in the congenial society of those interested
in amateur theatricals, Shakespearian readings, etc., and
notwithstanding his preference for serious characters, was frequently
cast for the comedian’s part. In 1875 he married Miss Anne M.
McGinney, of Providence, but this happy union was of short duration,
as she died in 1880, leaving one of three children, Mary Josephine,
wife of William H. Bannon, of Central Falls, R. I., surviving her.
Although a Democrat, Mr. McCarthy has always been a firm believer in
the principles of equitable protection, reciprocity and sound money.
He was frequently urged to accept nomination for various public
offices, but persistently declined until the fall of 1889, when he was
nominated on a fusion ticket and elected to the Providence City
Council, where he served during the years 1890–1892 and 1894. In 1891,
1892 and 1903 he was elected to the House of Representatives of Rhode
Island, and made a good record in the Legislature. He was opposed to
granting special privileges to public service corporations without
adequate compensation to the public for franchises in public highways.
In November, 1906, he was elected Mayor of the city of Providence, and
the best tribute to his first year’s record in that office is that he
was re-elected in 1907 by a greatly increased plurality. While Mayor
McCarthy is a firm believer in the principles of Democracy and
appreciative of the honors the Democratic party has conferred on him,
he has always felt it to be his first duty to observe the wishes of
the people as a whole, rather than those of a party or faction. He has
been fearless in his disregard of partisanship and has won the respect
and admiration of all good citizens by his official acts as Mayor. Mr.
McCarthy is a many-sided man. As an official he is conspicuously
successful. He has always represented the whole people, and never
attempted to gain favor by the sacrifice of principle. He is a sound
lawyer, enjoying the respect of the Court and the confidence of his
clients. Better than that, he is a true friend, warm-hearted,
clear-headed and helpful, and a loyal, patriotic American citizen.
Address, 49 Westminster Street, Providence, R. I. Is Vice-President of
the Society for Rhode Island.

MCCLURE, HON. DAVID, attorney at law, 22 William Street, New York
City. Mr. McClure was admitted to the bar in December, 1869, in New
York City, where he has since resided. His practice has brought him
very prominently before the courts and public during the last
thirty-six years as counsel in cases which have attracted much
attention. He has been counsel in many contested will cases, including
those of Merrill, Schuyler Skatts, Charles B. Beck and Mary Johnson.
In the Livingston, De Meli and General Burnside litigation he was also
prominent. He has been connected with many large corporation
foreclosure suits, including those of the Denver Water Company, the
New York & Northern Railroad Company, Omaha Water Company, the Toledo,
Ann Arbor & Northern Michigan, the Northern Pacific, the New York,
Lake Erie & Western, the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company, the
Oregon Improvement Company, the Chicago & Northern Pacific Company,
the Bankers and Merchants’ Telegraph Company, and the Memphis &
Charleston Railroad Company. He is regarded as one of the most
successful trial lawyers at the bar in New York. Mr. McClure for more
than a quarter of a century has been counsel for the Farmers Loan &
Trust Company, the oldest and largest trust company in the United
States, organized in 1821; and for many years of the Consolidated Gas
Company, one of the largest public service corporations in the
country. He is also counsel for the West Side Savings Bank, several
fire insurance companies and other banks. He was one of the counsel
for the Mutual Life Insurance Company during the presidency of F. S.
Winston. For years he was a director in the Lawyers Surety Company,
and he is on the board of the Title Insurance Company of New York. He
was a prominent and active member of the State Constitution Convention
of 1894, in which body he introduced and carried through the amendment
providing for protection of the forests of New York. He years ago
declined elevation to the bench of the Court of Appeals, the highest
court in the state of New York, and several times to other positions;
also appointment to the offices of corporation counsel of the city of
New York, and district attorney of the United States. Mr. McClure was
appointed, in 1893, receiver of the National Bank of Deposit, in the
city of New York, and in spite of the stringent financial condition
which prevailed during the summer of that year, dividends aggregating
seventy-five per cent were paid within three months. The entire
indebtedness, principal and interest, was paid and the receivership
closed out within one year. In 1892 he was a delegate from the State
of New York to the National Democratic Convention which, at Chicago,
nominated Grover Cleveland as candidate for the office of President of
the United States, and during the campaign of that year he was much
discussed by the press of New York as the probable nominee of his
party for the office of Mayor of the city. In that year he was
designated by the General Term of the Supreme Court, chairman of the
first commission appointed to determine whether a subway passing under
Broadway and other streets through the city should be constructed, his
associates being Robert Maclay, President of the Knickerbocker Trust
Company, and Benjamin Perkins. Prior to the adoption by the United
States government of the Panama Canal project, and during the
Presidency of Mr. McKinley, one of the largest, if not the largest,
syndicates of moneyed men ever gathered together obtained a concession
from the government of Nicaragua for the construction of a canal known
as the Nicaragua Canal. This syndicate, which proposed to build the
canal without government aid, was composed of the Messrs. Vanderbilt,
Astor, Rockefeller, Mills, Stillman, Grace, Crimmins, and others of
equal standing, and was represented before the committee of Congress
upon the question of recognition and protection, by Mr. McClure as its
counsel, he having organized the corporation under which it was
proposed to operate. Mr. McClure is a member of the Manhattan, New
York Athletic and other clubs, and the Bar Association, of which he
has been a member of the judiciary and other committees. He has also
been honored with the presidency of the Metropolitan Surety Company.
