His first command was the bark May Queen, a regular Baltimore and Rio packet, 1872. He then had command of the ship Pilgrim of Boston, and made several voyages to the East Indies. In 1884 he was given command of the Charger, a larger and finer ship than the Pilgrim, 257and sailed to ports in Japan. He next had command of the South American, “the commodore’s ship,” of the Hastings fleet (Boston), and took her to Australia and other parts. He made several record voyages during his career, and some of these records still stand, having never been equalled. On one occasion he was wrecked off the coast of Africa; he and his wife upon being rescued were hospitably entertained by the Boers of the adjacent country. Returning to East Dennis, Mass., his wife’s health became poor and so he removed with her to Coronado, Cal., hoping that the change of climate would benefit her, but she died in 1901.

C., March 28, 1878, where he has since resided. He entered the commission business, and in due course became a partner in the firm of W. I. Gore & Company; later, on the withdrawal of Mr. Gore, the commission business, which had largely increased, was incorporated under the name and style of The Corbett Company, under which the business is now conducted. Mr. Corbett is one of the most potent factors in the industrial life of Wilmington, and, in addition to the successful conduct of his regular business, has been largely instrumental in the promotion, organization and management of many important and flourishing enterprises in Wilmington; is Vice-President and one of the original directors of the People’s Savings Bank; one of the original directors of the 258Murchison National Bank; President of the Wilmington, Southport & Little River Company; member of the firm of Stone & Company, and one of the Board of Managers of the James Walker Memorial Hospital; is a member of the Cape Fear Club, Carolina Yacht Club and Cape Fear Golf Club.

The union has been signally blessed, ten children having been born to them, nine of whom are still living. Is Vice-President of the Society for North Carolina.

Cosgrove, Hon. James, was born at Charleston, S. C., Aug. 28, 1861. His father, a native of Bally Connell, County Cavan, Ireland, settled in Charleston in February, 1839; became a prosperous merchant; was one of the aldermen of the city for two terms and one of the Representatives from Charleston County in the General Assembly of South Carolina in 1874–’75. His mother was Catherine Daily. The family have been Charlestonians for over seventy years and during this period father and son have been closely identified with the commercial and political life of the community. Mr. Cosgrove attended first a private school, then the parochial school attached to St. Finbar’s Cathedral and later the high school of Charleston, where he was graduated at the age of sixteen years. He then went into his father’s office and later established himself in the real estate and general insurance business, which he still successfully conducts. About twenty years ago he became interested in the experiments conducted by Sir Patrick Manson, an Irishman, Leveran, a Frenchman, and the Italians Celli, Golgi and Bignam, concerning the inoculation of the human body with the virus of malaria fever by the bite of a species of the mosquito known as the “Anopheles.” He followed the investigations closely and as a result of what was proven commenced agitation for the drainage of wet and low lands of the United States, to remove breeding places of this species of insect. At that time there was a “death line” around the coastal section of the Southern States and many other sections of the United States, within which line it was thought to be dangerous to live in the summer for fear of malarial fever. At first his efforts met with poor success, and in 1898 he determined to become a candidate for the State Legislature to have enacted legislation necessary for the proper and systematic drainage of the wet lands of South Carolina. He was re-elected in 1900, but such was the opposition to the new movement that not until 1902 did he succeed in having created for Charleston County “The Sanitary and Drainage Commission.” Indeed, it required a man of the most untiring industry and indomitable will to have successfully carried his purpose during these four years of antagonism. The work of sanitary drainage in Charleston County was commenced under the direction of this commission, but it was soon found that it absolutely required some one to take the direction of the work who would be willing to sacrifice his self-interest for the good of the public. The commissioners, comprising some of the best citizens of the city, with one accord turned to Mr. Cosgrove and requested him to take entire direction. He did so, 259and has since remained in charge. The result is that thousands of acres of fertile lands have been made habitable, affording dwelling places, and manufacturing enterprises have been inaugurated, affording employment to thousands on land, which a few years ago was worthless. In 1902 Mr. Cosgrove was defeated for re-election by a small majority, owing to opposition to the idea of drainage. He determined to retire from politics, but in 1906, answering the call of his people as voiced in leading editorials in the press of Charleston, he consented to again become a candidate and was elected by a flattering vote and re-elected by a still larger vote in 1908. He is chairman of the Charleston Delegation in the House of Representatives and chairman of the Committee on Banking and Insurance. Mr. Cosgrove’s efforts in behalf of the drainage of the low lands of the United States have been recognized by his appointment as member of the Executive Committee of the National Drainage Congress and Honorary Vice-President of the Seventeenth National Irrigation Congress. As a corollary of his drainage work, Mr. Cosgrove has been giving much attention to the subject of good roads, and has now on the calendar of the Legislature a measure providing for state aid to the building of good roads. In 1885 Mr. Cosgrove was married to Miss Mathilde Griffith Forsythe, daughter of a prominent and wealthy dry goods merchant of Charleston.

Dixon, Richard, insurance, 52–54 William Street, New York City.

Dixon, Samuel Gibson, M. D., LL. D., Bryn Mawr, Pa., was born of Quaker parentage in the city of Philadelphia in the family homestead below Bartram’s Botanical Gardens, March 23, 1851. His early education was received at the Friends’ Schools in that city and was supplemented by private tutors, by whom he was prepared for Harvard College. His health failing, however, he went abroad for recreation and study. Returning home he set himself to acquire a thorough knowledge of business principles, taking a course at the Mercantile College. On the conclusion of this he studied conveyancing under the late Edward Bedlock of Philadelphia. He then studied law in the office of his brother, Edwin Saunders Dixon, Esq., attended the law course of the University of Pennsylvania, and was admitted to practice at the bar of Philadelphia June 30, 1877, continuing in the active practice of that profession for ten years. The practice of law left him with trusteeships of importance which have necessarily kept him well to the front in affairs. Under the stress of desk and office work his health again failed, and his tastes inclining him to make a hobby of scientific medicine he matriculated in the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, from which he was graduated with honor in 1886. While still an undergraduate, however, he received the unusual compliment of an appointment by the trustees 264to the position of Assistant Demonstrator of Physiology. During his last year in the medical school he suffered from a serious attack of typhoid fever, which made a foreign trip again desirable in the opinion of his physicians. Being greatly interested in the infant science of bacteriology, as soon as his strength permitted, he entered the Bacteriological Department of King’s College, London, from which he was graduated. He also took a course in the College of State Medicine, London, under Professor Klein, and it was while prosecuting observations under that master in bacteriology that he made the discovery of branched forms of tubercle bacilli hitherto unnoticed. He also studied under Pottenkofer, in Munich, and made a careful study of the methods of filtration of water and disposition of sewage then in vogue in the capitals of Great Britain and Europe. Returning to Philadelphia in 1888, his alma mater recognized the value of his attainments by appointing him the first Professor of Hygiene in the newly created chair in the Medical Department, and also Dean of the Auxiliary Department of Medicine. While in this position he embraced the opportunity to establish the first Laboratory of Hygiene in the University. Two years later he resigned these positions to accept the appointment of Professor of Bacteriology and Microscopical Technology at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, of which institution he became Executive Curator in 1892 and President in 1896. During this period his mind reverted constantly to the problem of the branched tubercle bacillus and the possibility which he had conceived of obtaining immunity to that disease by the introduction into the human economy of attenuated bacilli or of fluid extracts from the same, and he prosecuted original researches on this subject untiringly. On October 19, 1889, he published in the Medical News of Philadelphia the results which he had then reached in producing immunity to that disease in the lower animals, and has constantly kept the profession informed of his investigations by means of addresses and contributions to medical and scientific journals. The two theses or propositions on which he based this theory of possible immunity to the tubercle bacillus are as follows: “First. It is possible that by a thorough filtering out of bacilli from tubercular material a filtrate might be obtained and attenuated so that by systematic inoculations a change might be produced in living animal tissues that would enable them to resist virulent tubercle bacilli. Second. To bring about a chemical or physical change in living tissues that would resist tubercular phthisis it is possible that inoculations with the bacillus would have to be made; yet, before this could be done, the power of the virulent bacilli would have to be diminished; otherwise the result would be most disastrous.” In the autumn of 1890, Doctor Dixon, inspired by the announcement of Professor Koch that he had succeeded in developing a substance which possessed the power of preventing the growth of the tubercle bacillus in the human economy, again visited Europe in order to assure himself of the accuracy of the reports and in the interest of humanity as well as of the various scientific and medical institutions with which he was connected, and had interviews with Koch, 265Virchow and Dubois Raymond. That Doctor Dixon has always recognized the claims of the community as a whole on members of his profession is sufficiently proven by the fact that he is officially connected with so large a number of scientific, philanthropic and educational institutions. He has been for eighteen years Executive Curator of the Philadelphia Academy of the Natural Sciences, and for fourteen years its President. For a number of years he was a member of the Board of Education of the city of Philadelphia an as Chairman of the Committee on Hygiene devoted much time to improving the sanitary condition of the schools. He is an officer of the Ludwick Institute, the Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in Pennsylvania, the Zoological Society of Philadelphia and the Grandom Institution, a member of the Council of the American Philosophical Society and of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, a director of the Wistar Institute of Anatomy of the University of Pennsylvania, a Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, a member of the American Medical Association, the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia County Medical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Archeological and Asiatic Society, and one of the originators of the Geographical Society of Philadelphia. An enthusiast on field sports from his early boyhood, many of his vacations have been spent in salmon and trout fishing and the hunting of big game. He has been an enthusiastic and successful breeder of choice cattle and sporting dogs. He is a member of the American Kennel Club, of which he was the first Secretary, and President of the Philadelphia Kennel Club. Among the social clubs of the country he is a member of the Philadelphia Club, the Merion Cricket Club, the University Club, the Tarrantine Golf Club and the Radnor Hunt.

Doyle, John F., of John F. Doyle & Sons, 45 William Street, New York City. (Life member of the Society and a member of its Executive Council.) Mr. Doyle is the senior member of the real estate firm of John F. Doyle & Sons. He was born in New York City, 1837, a son of James Doyle, who participated in the Irish revolution of 1798, and who came to the United States early in 1806. This James Doyle, the immigrant, had a son who was killed in the Florida war of 1837, and a grandson who fell in 1861, fighting for the Union. John F. Doyle, the subject of this sketch and member of the Society, entered the law office of Alexander Hamilton, grandson of the first Secretary of the Treasury, afterwards the firm of Hamilton, Rives & Rogers, and remained with them from 1853 to 1869, in the meantime studying law and being admitted to the bar in 1862. Alexander Hamilton, Francis R. Rives, a son of William C. Rives, of Virginia, at one time minister to France and senator, and Nathan Pendleton Rogers, all of the old Revolutionary stock, were members of the firm. Mr. Doyle’s management of some Wall Street properties for them at this period became so conspicuous that he was urged by them to assume the management of their estates, which he did. Shortly afterwards followed the acquisition of the estates of such well-known people as Mrs. Harriet L. Langdon, granddaughter-in-law of the first John Jacob Astor, John Pyne March, Mrs. Morgan L. Livingston, George L. Schuyler, James M. Pendleton, A. Newbold Morris, James H. Jones, John Steward, Jr., Royal Phelps, deceased, Royal Phelps Carroll, Robert S. Minturn, estate of Gertrude L. Lowndes, deceased, William H. King, of Newport, R. I., and others too numerous to mention in detail. A feature of his career as a successful manager lies in the fact that the business associations and connections formed by him in the beginning are still held intact. Among the notable sales made by him are those from William H. Morris to John Jacob Astor in 1880 conveying 150 acres of lots in the twenty-third ward on and adjacent to Harlem River; the great sale of South Brooklyn lots at Gowanus Bay in 1884. Mr. Doyle represents today the same old and well-known families and estates represented by him so many years ago. During his career Mr. Doyle has met and done business with some of the most notable men connected with families famous in American history, such as three of the four sons 268of the first Alexander Hamilton, Admiral Farragut, Capt. Percival Drayton, Rawlins Lowndes, of South Carolina, William C. Rives, U. S. senator from Virginia, at one time minister to France, George L. Schuyler, grandson of Philip Schuyler, and owner of the famous yacht America, Philip Schuyler, his son, Henry Grinnell of Arctic fame, Robert J. and Mortimer Livingston, Hon. John Lee Carroll, Commodore Wm. K. Vanderbilt, and scores of others equally well known, besides representing branches now of four lineal descendants of signers of the Declaration of Independence. His two sons, Col. John F. Doyle, Jr., and Alfred L. Doyle, have been with him in business for years past and all three enjoy an enviable reputation for integrity, ability and prudence in all their undertakings.

Flynn, Col. David M., Princeton, N. J., is cashier of the First National Bank of Princeton. He is probably the youngest officer in the National Guard of New Jersey to hold the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, being only thirty-three years of age, born in Princeton in 1876. In the Guard, as well as in business life, Colonel Flynn has come up from the ranks. He was one of the moving spirits in the organization of Company L of the Second Regiment, which has distinguished itself on the rifle range at Sea Girt. He enlisted in the company as a private in 1900; was made 272a corporal in 1901, battalion sergeant-major in 1903; re-enlisted in 1905; was made captain and paymaster of the Second Brigade by Colonel Collins December 10, 1906; major and paymaster, Second Brigade, December 10, 1907, and major and inspector of small arms practice, July 9, 1908. Colonel Flynn’s success in a business way has been as remarkable and gratifying as his military success. Owing to the death of his father, he began work in a store at the age of thirteen, where by his industry and integrity he attracted attention to himself. He studied at night, and when nineteen years of age passed a United States civil service examination, and was named registry clerk in the Princeton postoffice, which position he held until about ten years ago, when he was chosen teller of the First National Bank. Later he was made cashier of the bank and he has more than made good. Since his connection with the bank the number of depositors has more than tripled and the deposits have more than doubled. Colonel Flynn possesses an attribute valuable in all walks of life, but more especially in the banking world—he has never touched liquor of any kind. He is Treasurer of the Citizens’ Association, Treasurer of the Princeton Militia Company, Treasurer of the Princeton Fish and Game Association, chairman of the Committee on Collections of the New Jersey Bankers’ Association, Past Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus and is publisher of the Bankers’ Loose Leaf Discount Ledger.

Garvan, Hon. Patrick, 236 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, Conn. (A life member of the Society and a member of the Executive Council.) He was born in Ireland March 8, 1836, and came to this country in May, 1851, and since 1852 has resided in Hartford. At the age of twenty-one Mr. Garvan began his business career as a contractor and builder and continued at the same for a period of twenty-one years. Many of the public buildings and churches east of the Connecticut River were built by him during this time. He was also a partner in a paper and paper stock business carried on in Hartford under the name of E. J. Carroll & Company. From 1877 to 1906, having purchased the interest of Mr. Carroll, he conducted under his own name a paper and paper stock business exclusively. In 1906 the business was incorporated under the name of P. Garvan, Inc., and is at the present time carried on under that name. It has grown to such proportion that at the present time it occupies four warehouses on State Street in Hartford, with offices at 205 and 207 State Street, and one large storage plant at Holyoke, Mass. Recently the firm has opened offices at 261 Broadway, New York City, and its interests are cared for by Thomas F. Garvan, who has been associated with his father for eighteen years. Mr. Garvan is also identified with several mills, being President of the Eastern Straw Board Company at Versailles, Conn., Hartford Board Company of Hartford, Conn., and the Newington Paper Company of Newington, Conn. Three of his sons, Thomas F., Edward J., and John S., are associated in business with him. Mr. Garvan has always been a staunch Republican. During his residence in East Hartford he held many positions of honor and trust, having been chairman of the School Board of that town for twelve years; was President of both Village Improvement and Street Lighting Associations; trustee and Treasurer of the Raymond Library, and for several years chairman of the Republican Town Committee. In 1884 he represented the town in the House of Representatives, and was re-elected as its first representative in 1885, serving as chairman of the School Fund Committee of that year, and as a member of the Finance Committee in 1884. In 1890 he was elected State Senator from the Second Senatorial District by the largest Republican majority given any candidate in this district up to that time. For some years previous to 1894 he was a member of the Republican State Central Committee from the Second District, but resigned that office upon his removal to Hartford. He was selected by the Connecticut Convention as a delegate to the Republican Convention at Chicago which nominated President Taft. When the Park Department of this city was reorganized, the Legislature provided for the appointment of a commission to have 274sole charge of this important work. Mr. Garvan was named as one of the commissioners for the term of ten years. The Board of Park Commissioners particularly entrusted to Commissioner Garvan the purchase of lands for and the development of Riverside Park. In 1898, as President of this board, he delivered the dedicatory address at the services attending the opening of Riverside Park to the public. This park has become one of the most useful pleasure grounds in this city, giving, as it does, a place of recreation and rest for the poorer classes and children of the East Side. Mr. Garvan has always taken a great interest in educational matters, three of his sons having graduated from Yale University and his daughters having finished their educations abroad. Two of his sons entered the profession of law, Frank P. Garvan, the present Assistant District Attorney of New York, and Edward J. Garvan, who was Judge of the Hartford Police Court for five years. The latter is now identified with his father’s business interests. Mr. Garvan enjoys the respect and esteem of a very wide circle of friends and acquaintances, not only throughout the State of Connecticut, but wherever his large business interests extend. He is a self-made, practical business man, cautious, conservative and strictly honorable in all his dealings, and through his native genius and his untiring energy he has been uniformly successful in all his business affairs. He is now a director of St. Francis Hospital, director of the State Bank and the Riverside Trust Company; is a trustee of the Society for Savings at Hartford and of the Cathedral parish, Hartford. In January, 1861, Mr. Garvan married Miss Mary A. Carroll of East Hartford, and ten children were born to them, eight of whom, four sons and four daughters, are living at the present time. His wife died in September, 1906.

Hanrahan, John D., M. D., Rutland, Vt., a native of County Limerick, Ireland; was graduated in medicine from the University of the City of New York, 1867; in June, 1861, he was, on examination (not having 277graduated), appointed surgeon in the United States Navy, and served through the entire Civil War. The vessels on which he served did duty mostly on the rivers of Virginia and North Carolina, where he served with the army as well as the navy, thereby having the benefit and experience of both branches of the service, especially in the surgical line. In August, 1863, the vessel on which he was serving was captured at the mouth of the Rappahannock River and all on board made prisoners. They were taken overland to Richmond where they were confined in Libby Prison. At that time the Confederates were very short of surgeons and medical supplies, and he was asked if he would go over to Belle Island and attend the Union prisoners. After consulting his fellow-prisoners he consented, and for six weeks he attended the sick and wounded Union prisoners faithfully, under very great disadvantages, as the appliances were very limited. After that he was paroled. While a prisoner of war he was treated with the greatest courtesy and consideration by the medical staff and officers of the Confederacy. After the close of the war he was settled in New York City, but for nearly forty years has been a resident of Rutland, Vt. He was town and city physician of Rutland for many years. He was appointed surgeon of the Third Vermont Regiment, 1871, by Governor Stewart; was the first President of the Rutland County Medical and Surgical Society; has been a director and consulting surgeon of the Rutland (Vt.) Hospital; consulting surgeon to the Fanny Allen Hospital, Winooski, Vt.; a member of the Vermont Sanitary Association, and a member of the Vermont Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis; President of Rutland Village two years and trustee eight years; county commissioner one year; President, United States pension examining board four years under President Cleveland, and President of the same board four years under President Harrison. He was postmaster of Rutland during the second term of President Cleveland. He has since its organization been an active member of the G. A. R.; surgeon of Roberts Post, the largest in Vermont; has served three terms as medical director of the Department; served on the staffs of three commanders-in-chief—Veasy, Palmer and Weissert; a member of Commander-in-Chief Stewart’s staff. Doctor Hanrahan is the author of several medical papers, has performed many surgical operations, and has served through several epidemics of smallpox and diphtheria. He was a delegate to the Democratic National conventions of 1884, 1888, and chairman of the Vermont delegation to the National Convention of 1892. Also a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in St. Louis, 1904, and to the Ancient Order of Hibernians convention in St. Louis, July 19, 1904. Is Vice-President of the Society for Vermont.

Kelly, Gertrude B., M. D., 130 East Twenty-seventh Street, New York City.

Kelly, John Forrest, Ph. D., Pittsfield, Mass.; born near Carrick-on-Suir, Ireland. He was educated in Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, N. J., received the degree of B. L. in 1878 and that of Ph. D. in 1881. His first occupation was as assistant to Thomas A. Edison, in Menlo Park laboratory, his work then principally relating to the chemistry of rare earths. Late in 1879 Mr. Kelly became electrical engineer of the New York branch of the Western Electric Company. This was the time when the telephone was being generally introduced, and when dynamos were being first applied to telegraphic purposes. In the construction and installment of instruments for telegraphy and telephones and of such measuring instruments as were then known, Mr. Kelly received a thorough training. In 1882 he became laboratory assistant to Edward Weston, then 281chief electrician of the United States Electric Lighting Company, and, with the exception of a year which he spent in connection with the Remingtons, Mr. Kelly continued his association with Mr. Weston until July, 1886. Some of the most important work, such as the research which ended in the discovery of high resistance alloys of very low or even negative temperature co-efficients, were substantially carried out by Mr. Kelly under general directions from Mr. Weston, whom Mr. Kelly succeeded as chief electrician of the United States Electric Lighting Company, which, in 1889, passed to the Westinghouse interests; but Mr. Kelly retained his position as chief electrician until January, 1892, when he resigned to join William Stanley in experimental work. The work done by Mr. Kelly, in this connection, gave a great impetus to the alternating current business. Mr. Kelly’s inventive work is partially represented by eighty patents. The art of building transformers and generators of alternating currents was revolutionized, and Mr. Kelly and his colleagues were the first to put polyphase motors into actual commercial service. That success naturally led to long-distance transmission work, and the first long-distance transmission plants in California (indeed the first in the world), were undertaken on Mr. Kelly’s recommendation and advice. He was the first to make a hysteretically stable steel, a matter of vastly more importance than the comparatively spectacular transmission work. Mr. Kelly at present occupies the position of President of the John F. Kelly Engineering Company, President of the Cokel Company and President of the Telelectric Company, as well as President of the Conchas River Power Company and director of the Southwestern Exploration Company. The Cokel Company is organized to exploit the invention of Mr. E. W. Cooke, by means of which foodstuffs may be perfectly dehydrated, losing on the average ninety per cent in weight. Foods dehydrated by this process, although free from all chemical preservatives, are entirely stable, and yet preserve their pristine freshness through extremes of temperature, and when served are indistinguishable from fresh foods of the ordinary type. The Telelectric Company is organized for the manufacture of electric piano players, which are either entirely automatic or entirely controllable at will. Mr. Kelly was married to Miss Helen Fischer, in New York City, in 1892, and they have two children—Eoghan and Domnall. Mr. Kelly is a thorough and unswerving Irish Nationalist, and his splendid generosity to the cause is well-known.

Kelly, Joseph Thomas, was born at Enniskeen, County Cavan, Ireland, January 3, 1887, and is the son of William and Anne (O’Connor) Kelly. Removed in August, 1893, to New Haven, Conn.; in October, 1895, to Union City, Conn.; in April, 1900, returned to New Haven. Educated in Irish National Schools and in the public and parochial schools of the United States; was graduated in 1903 from Hillhouse High School, New Haven. In July, 1903, entered the employ of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company as a stenographer; and is at present Secretary to the general counsel of that company.

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 285history, 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.
