In no couotry outside the federal anion will the tragic end of President MeKinley awake a keener sympathy than here in Ireland. It ia fitting that this should be ofor many reasons. The country of which William McKioley was rnler has given shelter to thousands and thousands of Irish men, and be himself cornea of a ock that gave a martyr to the Irish eaose, for away in the North of Ireland lies the grave of a kinmnan and name sake who died a hero' death for Ireland little more than a hundred years ago, in the stirring tinea of '98. Tba Wil iam ilii'- rumey who baa jist djed, waa the ebief executive of the greatest nation in the world. The W.llUa, M'Kinley of 1798 fought in the war for Irish inde pendence, soetained ia bone, no doubt, by the simple of American independ ence already achieved, and defeated in tbs unequal strife, waa not treated as a Prisoner of war. hot shot in Coleraioe market-place os the finding of a drnm bead court-mesttal. ty course he waa a ftotestant-on. of the race that gave Cracken and Monroe jo Ireland.

The roof of the boose was thatched until a recent data whan tbe three feet thickof matted straw was replaced with elate. Tbe wide doorway ia filled by tbe familiar "ball door." Tha house is not old, as substantial Irish booses go. It was probably built in 1763 by the William M'Kinley of that date, who left bis initials cut on an o'd etone seat that still eerves the visitor to rest upon by Dervoek door: W. M'K., 1765. Bat long before 1765 tbe M'Kinleys bad lived on tbe spot,- probably in a radar dwelling torn down to spake room for tbe present house. Their precise origin is in dispute. Sputa aay that tbe M'Kinleys were a Scottish race that rattled in Antrim during James l's plan tatiou of Ulster ; others stoutly maintain that they were of pare Irish stock, and a ebb tribe or branch family of tbe great house ot O'Neill. However this may be, it is fair ly certain that daring tba reign of Charles II, James M'Kinley, bob of another James M'Kinley .called "Suamoe Oge," or "James tbe Yoonger," est tied upon tbe lands of Dervoek. Theoaneof ''Shames 0V may be found among tbe list of those to whom a contract or the making of a road along tha shores of Lough Neath was issued ia tbe year 1868. Ia 1709 David M'Kinley, of Dervoek, was a collector of tbe "hearth tea" is Antrim. From hi time tha names of David and William re-apeear ia tbe saecseeite generations of M'Kie- leys. of Dervoek. It was the grandson of Divid M'Kinley. the beartb tax collector, who went with tha Ulster United Irishmen, and so met death.

For William M'Kialey'a offeree there waa but one punishment recognised at adequate ia those stern days of brutal tyranny and deliberate persecution. It was death death to fight or to stand, to run or to plot ; death to have in one's possession arms or ammunition. M'Kinley was arrested by a detachment of troops beaded by a Captain Hanna, and away to the town of Coleraioe want the pro cession. There the soldiers took rxe session of tbe Market place, while tba unarmed people stood around with swelling hearts, hot nnable-to nave or euesor.

If it is a neat and becoming one he notices it ; if otherwise ditto. Neat shoes and a new and natty suit are es sential to your appearance but you can't even then look your best without a new hat. We have the goods and know how to fit. No matter how critical or economical you are we can please you.

Hot even Zola's trial In Franoe gives us an Idea of what tbe procedure of Irish courts martial were in 1708. Of McKin ley's trial no record remains. Yet well enough we knbw bow it must baye farad.
