A MEMORY OF
THE YEAR '98
President McKinley's Relative Shot in
Coleraioe.
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

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

thick walls solid as a fortress against tha
assaults of age. 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.

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.

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
