M’CARTHY'e "THOUGHT EXCHANGE."
Senator Stanford's Private Secretary's
Mode of Amusement.
"Did yon ever hear about McC«tby>
■Thought Exchange’?” ona of a group
asked ir. a restaurant the other ilay.
‘•Who's McCarthy?’ Bomebodv asked.
j “Why, John B. McCarthy, Senate-
Stanford's private secretarysaid the
V first. “He's an odd genius, and so handy
thut the California raillicnare gives him
his own salary of $5,000 a year in add!
tion to the $0 a day allowed by the gov
ernment to attend to bis affairs. I’m
reminded of his ‘Thought Exchange* by
reading the story of Clyatt. the London
reporter, who had witnessed 800 execu
tions.”
The gentlemen present said they had
never lieard of the •‘Exchange.*'
“Well,” said the first speaker, “Mo
Cartliy nsed to bo a newr-piper reporter.
He has worked in New York and in San
Francisco, and a good many towns bo
tween them. Before lie became Stan
ford'ii secretary ho was in Washington, h
reporter on the old Nation ]] Republican
He complained that life was so dull Suu
day nights that it wasn't worth living,
nolle organized the ‘Tlionght Exchange.'
He printed n notico in The Republican
that snch an exchange had been organ
ized, and that ail people who had any
views on any subject would bo wolcome.
and invited to speak.' He rented a hall
on Tenth street, and the next Sunday
night about fifty were present.
“There were Spiritualists who wanted
to give exhibitions of their powers.
There were labor agitators. There were
socialists and temperance workers.
Everybody was allowed to speak. The
following Sunday the attendance was
larger and the speakers of about the
same sort The hall rent was eight dal
lars an evening. A collection waa taken
np which nsually amounted to a dollar
or two more than that, and that was
clear profit The thing went along until
the owner refined to rout the hall, and
so the ‘Exchange' was about to more oat
to a little hall near Twentieth street and
Pennsylvania avenue; bat it did net
make the change.”
“What has this to do with a man who
bod seen 300 executions?’ some one asked.
“As 1 sold, McCarthy nsed to be a
newspaper reporter. Ho had seen hang
ings in a dozen states—about forty in all
is his record, I think. Ho saw Oniteau
executed, and had l>oen present at
lynchings in Missouri and elsewhere.
On the last night the ‘Exchange’ was
to meet In the Tenth street hall no
speakers came forward. Something had
to bo done, and McCarthy was equal to
tho occasion. He went uion the plat
form and announced that lie would give
a lecture. His subject would be ‘The
Comparative Merita of the Long and
Short Drop at Executions.' Ho went at
it and discussed the snbject as coolly
one wonld discuss whether Washington
or Napoleon wero the greater general.
He talked for two hoars. He cited sev
eral executions he had witnessed as
allowing the merits of tho two systems.
“He described one or two horrible af
fairs where a rope, and a mob, and a
bridge were the principal accessories.
The ladies present got up and wentaway
at that, and the others of his audience
were either dazed or charmed with his
audacity. After talking for two boors,
bo announced the change In place of
meeting for the next week, and said he
wonld deliver another lecture on the
same subject, giving especial attention
to lynchings.
“One of the long haired men present
came to him after the lecture and said,
■Of course your lecture was very fine,
and It certainly shows you have hod
some remarkable experiences, but don’t
yon think it wonld be wise for the next
time to take something in which we
could all be interested? Next week
there wus noandience, and the 'Thought
Exchange* was dead. It wasn’t long aft
er that that McCarthy was appointed
private secretary by Mr. Stanford.*—

chimneys do not break from
heat, r.ot one in a hundred;
they break from acc : dents.
They are made of cleat
giass as well as tough, as
clear as crystal. They fit
the lamps they are made
for. Shape controls the
draft. They are shaped
right. Draft contributes to
proper combustion; - that
makes light. They improve
the light of a lamp.
But they cost a dealer
three times as much as
common chimneys, and, as
they do not break, he is apt
to be anxious lest they stop
his trade. Diminished sales
and less profit are not
agreeable to him.
There are two sides to
the question. Talk with him.
