"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.*— New York Times.
