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.

MCGOWAN, REAR ADMIRAL JOHN, U. S. N., retired, 1420 Sixteenth Street,
N. W., Washington, D. C. (Life member of the Society.) He was born at
Port Penn, Del., August 4, 1843. He is the son of John and Catherine
(Caldwell) McGowan. He was educated in the public schools of
Philadelphia, Pa., 1848–’53, and in private schools in Elizabeth, N.
J., 1854–’59. Entering the navy, he was appointed acting master’s
mate, March 8, 1862; was promoted to acting master May 8, 1862, and
ordered to command the U. S. S. _Wyandank_ in the Potomac flotilla. He
served on the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers until February, 1863,
when he was detached from the _Wyandank_ and ordered to the _Florida_
as navigator. He served on the _Florida_ in the blockage off
Wilmington, N. C., until October, 1864, when the ship went to New York
for repairs. In November, of the same year, he was detached from the
_Florida_ and ordered to the U. S. S. _State of Georgia_ as navigator;
arrived off Wilmington, N. C., the day after the capture of Fort
Fisher, his ship being then ordered to reinforce the fleet off
Charleston, S. C. While there he took part in the Bulls Bay
Expedition, which was one of the causes of the evacuation of
Charleston by the Confederates. Soon after the evacuation, the _State
of Georgia_ was ordered to Aspinwall (Colon) to protect American
interests on the Isthmus of Panama. Before sailing for Aspinwall,
McGowan succeeded Lieutenant Manly as executive officer of the ship.
In November, 1865, he was ordered to the U. S. S. _Monongahela_ as
watch and division officer; served on the _Monongahela_ in the West
Indies until January, 1867, when he was detached and, a few days
later, joined the U. S. S. _Tacony_, Commander Roe, fitting out for
duty in the Gulf Squadron. He was at Vera Cruz nearly all the summer
of 1867, which witnessed the fall of Maximilian’s empire. After the
death of Maximilian, and the surrender of Vera Cruz to the Liberals,
the _Tacony_ returned to Pensacola, Fla., but, yellow fever breaking
out aboard, the ship went to Portsmouth, N. H., where, after
undergoing quarantine, the officers were detached and ordered to their
homes the latter part of September, 1867. In October of the same year,
McGowan was ordered to duty on board the receiving-ship at the
Philadelphia navy yard. He commanded the U. S. S. _Constellation_
there, and was afterward executive officer of the frigate _Potomac_,
also a receiving ship, at Philadelphia. In March, 1868, while on the
_Potomac_, he received a commission as master in the regular navy, and
in October, 1868, was ordered to duty with the Asiatic fleet. On
reporting to the admiral, he was ordered to duty as executive officer
of the U. S. S. _Unadilla_; succeeded to the command of the _Unadilla_
in June, 1869, and in November of that year was detached from the
_Unadilla_ and ordered to the U. S. S. _Iroquois_; returned in her to
the United States, the ship going out of commission in April, 1870. In
April, 1870, he was promoted to be lieutenant-commander and while in
that grade served on the double-turreted monitor _Terror_, the
_Wachusetts_, _Juniata_ and _Marion_ as executive officer, and at the
League Island, Philadelphia and Brooklyn navy yards. In January, 1887,
he was promoted to commander; commanded the _Swatara_, _St. Mary’s_,
_Portsmouth_ and _Alliance_, and was also commandant of the naval
training station at Newport, R. I., from December, 1896, to July,
1899. He was promoted captain, February, 1899, and in August took
command of the U. S. S. _Monadnock_ at Manila. In November, 1900, he
was ordered to duty as commandant of the naval station at Key West,
Fla. In April, 1901, he was detached and ordered before the
retiring-board. He was retired, with the rank of rear admiral, in
April, 1901. In October, 1871, he wedded Evelyn Manderson of

service by President Andrew Jackson. He was at Charleston, S. C.,
during the nullification period, served in the Seminole War, in the
War with Mexico, and in the Civil War. He commanded the steamer _Star

O’LEARY, REV. CORNELIUS F., Wellston, Mo., was born in the parish of
Lixnan, County Kerry, Ireland, on the 20th of July, 1850; is the son
of Cornelius O’Leary and Jane Stack, being the seventh and last child
of the family; has ever felt a pride in being descended from the
O’Learys and McSheehys on the one side and Stacks and O’Connors on the
other—names held in honor and respect throughout the classic Kingdom
of Ireland. From early youth he attended the national schools of the
parish, and later was afforded the blessing and superior advantage of
an education at the hands of the Christian Brothers of Tralee. At
fifteen years of age he was induced by his honorable cousin, Thomas R.
Wilson, Attorney at Killarney, to enter his office and prepare for the
study of law. He soon grew discontented with the tedious forms and
complexities of the law, returned to Tralee and entered the Classical
School conducted by Charles McCarthy, a graduate of Trinity College,
Dublin. At seventeen, it next became his fortune to come to America
and he settled in the West, “Where the mighty Missouri rolls down to
the sea.” With true Irish courage he accommodated himself to
circumstances, looked neither to the right or to the left until he
reached the goal of his pious ambition, receiving Holy Orders at the
hands of Archbishop Ryan, then of St. Louis, in May, 1873. Rector of
Notre Dame Church, Wellston, Mo.

O’NEIL, HON. GEORGE F., Binghamton, N. Y. (Life member of the
Society.) Was born in Ireland, and came to America at a very early age
with his parents. After learning the machinery trade in Binghamton, he
went West and engaged in mining in California. Retiring to Binghamton,
he went into the grocery business and real estate business and bought
a controlling interest in a Democratic paper, which naturally brought
him into politics. Never having had any taste for public office, he
was, however, named as a presidential elector in 1892 for Grover
Cleveland. He was appointed a member of the state committee, and
served as a commissioner for the World’s Fair at Chicago by
appointment of Governor Flower of New York. Having confidence in the
growth of Binghamton, he became interested in its progress and general
development. He became a stockholder in the electric light plant, a
director in the First National Bank, and a trustee of the Susquehanna
Valley Savings Bank. He is a prominent member of the Chamber of
Commerce and attends to his large real estate investments, being at
the present time the largest tax-payer in the city of Binghamton and
county of Broome.

6, 1862, of native parents. Attended the rudimentary schools of the
locality until 13 years of age; then employed for six years in a small
mercantile establishment in the town of Bantry. Hon. T. M. Healy was
at that time a clerk in this store, and one of Mr. O’Shea’s
instructors at the Bantry school was Hon. Timothy Harrington, later a
prominent member of the Irish Parliamentary party, and also Lord Mayor
of Dublin. Bantry being a town where the revolutionary spirit was much
in evidence, there was a secret society there of which Mr. O’Shea
became a member while still a boy; he also participated actively in
the doings of the Land League. He came to America in March, 1881, and
after several months of searching about for a suitable opening,
settled in Montana, where he has since resided. The state was then
very sparsely settled, and there were no railroads. Mr. O’Shea spent
some time in prospecting and working in mines, etc., and in 1887 went
to Red Lodge with the pioneers of that locality. He entered the employ
of the Rocky Fork Coal Company, remaining with that concern for 15
years until it was absorbed by the Northern Pacific Railway. He then
engaged in banking and real estate, and has since been connected with
affairs of that nature. He was married in 1901 to Miss Eleanor
Cavenagh, a native of Dublin, and at that time living in Chicago.
There are three children, two boys and a girl.

QUINLAN, FRANCIS J., A. M., M. D., LL. D., eighth President-General of
the American Irish Historical Society, was born in the City of New
York, December 24th, 1853. Both his parents were Irish born, coming to
these shores when the great exodus took place, about 1845. His early
education was obtained at the Parochial School of St. Francis Xavier,
under the guidance of the Christian Brothers. Later he attended
Manhattan Academy, then at Thirty-second Street, and afterwards the
College of St. Francis Xavier. While preparing for the study of
medicine he taught school. In 1878 he was graduated from the College
of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia College, and soon after accepted
an appointment at St. Vincent’s Hospital, which he shortly resigned to
enter the United States Indian Service, serving on the frontier four
years. In 1883 Doctor Quinlan returned to New York and devoted himself
especially to diseases of the ear, nose and throat. Such was the skill
he displayed that in a comparatively few years he was among the most
prominent of his profession and today is a recognized authority in his
specialty. Doctor Quinlan’s prominence in the medical field is
attested by the number of important posts he holds. He is Professor of
diseases of the nose and throat in the medical department of Fordham
University and the New York Polyclinic; attending Laryngologist and
Otologist to the New York City and the St. Vincent Hospitals;
Consulting Throat and Nose Surgeon of the New York Foundling Hospital,
St. Joseph’s Hospital, Yonkers, and Jamaica Hospital, N. Y., and
Consulting Ear, Throat and Nose Surgeon of St. Agnes Hospital, White
Plains, N. Y. He is President of the New York Celtic Medical Society,
Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, a member of the American
Medical and the State Medical Associations, the New York Otological
and the Medico Surgical Societies, the Society of Medical
Jurisprudence and a former President of the New York County Medical
Association. In addition to these organizations of his profession, he
is President of the Alumni Sodality of the College of St. Francis
Xavier; is a member of the society of the Friendly Sons of St.
Patrick, the Catholic Club of New York, of which he is a former
President, the Manhattan, New York Athletic and Lambs’ Clubs and is
connected with various religious, racial and charitable organizations
of New York City. Doctor Quinlan is a liberal contributor to the
periodicals of his department of medicine and has devised many
ingenious surgical instruments. Since his election to the office of
President-General, the American Irish Historical Society has steadily
gained favor with our people, and it is safe to say that the increase
of three hundred members since he has been at the head of the Society
is due in a great measure to his untiring efforts and a genial
disposition which earns for him wherever he goes a host of friends. As
an orator Doctor Quinlan is above mediocrity. His delivery is
enthusiastic and has the true ring of sincerity, carrying along
conviction. Especially was this noticeable in his addresses delivered
at Washington and Providence. Doctor Quinlan is an ardent lover of the
beautiful in nature, and is an art enthusiast, and although one of the
busiest men in the great metropolis, he manages occasionally to find
leisure to examine rare pieces of art that have found their way to the
art collector’s, and to add to his already large collection of
statuary and paintings. So judicious is the taste he displays that he
is regarded as a connoisseur, and his artistic opinion has, on various
occasions, been solicited. In 1906 Doctor Quinlan was the recipient of
the Lætare Medal.
