M'KINLEYs IN IRELAND.
Ancestors of the President Lived ne
BallymOney.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Some two miles from Ballymoney, In the
northeast corner Of ireland, there Is a
squatty farmhouse. with an old stone seat
outside the door. which bears the inscrip-
ton:
"W Mex. 17e5."
In this house many Of the ancestors OF
William Mckinley. twenty-fifth President
of the United States lived and died. The
building which the visitor finds there at
the present time is more than century
old and IL stands on the site of an older
structure. which also belonged TO the Nc
kinley family.
kiniey came hither from Scotland or were
natives of the County OF Antrim, they were
stanch Presbyterians: The church stu
stands where they worshiped and where,
at one time, they listened 10 the stern
mons of the Rev. John Tenant, OF Rose
lands. 1t was not until they came to Amer
Tea that the Presidents family turned to
the Methodist Church.
There are many evidences OF the promi-
nence of the Mckinleys In this district OF
County Antrim TO be found by the persever-
ing ANTIQUARIAN. The name OF Shamus Og
Mckinley, of Dewock. is mentioned I'm a
contract of fsss for the construction OF a
road from the shores OF Tough Neagh.
David Mckinley. of Dewock. was col
lector OF the county hearth tax I'm 1909. IL
was from James. the eldest son OF this
David. that the American statesman was
descended. James emigrated to the new
world while still young man.
The names Hanna and Mckinley have not
always been coupled by bonds of friend,
ship. There was a Hanna who once caused
the death of a Mckinley At the time OF
the Irish rebellion. i'm l7ss. Francis Mcl<in-
ley permitted his house to be used b. the
insurgents as storehouse for weapons and
ammunition. He was all ready TO take the
field against the English when Captain
Hanna swooped down on him with a COM
mand Of soldiers and carried him OF
prisoner TO Coleraine. Here he was hanged
on July Z, l7sS. The body now lies In the

Hearts Sunshine.

Oh, IL only those who love us
Would but tell us while we live,
And not wait until LIES journey
Ended Is. before they give
The smile we hungered after,
Tender words we longed to hear.
Which we listened for. but vainly,
For many a weary year.
There is much of pain and sorrow
All must bear, and bear alone,
Yet how helpful is the sunshine
OF CHEEKY look and tonei
How IL brightens up life's pathway.
And dispels the shadows grim,
And restores our shattered idols,
Which We built in days now dim.
Then bestow your sunshine freely!
Let IL shine from out your eyes.
Let IL speak in wsrm-hand pressures.
Let IL breathe in heartfelt signs,
I.eSit cheer the fainting spirit
or some brother in distress,
Let IL thrill our Earring voices
With note of tenderness.
For in serving fellow mortals
We best serve the Father. too.
And in tightening their burdens
Ours grow light and fade from view.
And a sympathetic nature
That vibrates to others needs
Is a bit OF Gods own sunshine
Ouickening TO noble deeds.

Everybody's Magazine.
A new terror has come to torment the
egotist who subscribes to a press-clipping
bureau. The magazines send out each
month what is known editorial sheet,
in which bits of information or quotation in
assorted series are made ready for the ed
tor who is not above the use of shears.
Every newspaper gets one of these sheets
and practically every one uses part of IL.

How Wordsworth Looked.

What was Mr.. Wordsworth like in per-

asked an old retainer, who still lives not
far from Rydal Mount. HE was a ugly

answer. "Ay, and he was deal ABBOTT t
roads, We kna." One might have thought
the late poet an ugly customer of desperate
life, or a hignwayman of vagrant habit.
was that he was a man of marked features.
and led a very simple life in matters of food
and raiment. Canon Rawnsley's new vol
ume of Lake Country Sketches opens with
an amusing chapter of "reminiscences of

moreland. Some very funny ideas the
peasants preserve of him, yet, when tran
moreland dialect into modern English, some
of them throw deal Of light upon the man
and his habits.

The One Who Whips.
PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

They are not exactly bad boys, these two
in certain West Philadelphia family, but
they are invariably quarreling and fighting
with one another. Probably it was the
fact Of the frequent parental Intervention
that caused the few pauses in hostilities.
At any rate they are rather famous in
their neighborhood.
One day, not long ago, one of the neigh
bors, who Is fond of contests Of any sort,
said: Edwin, when you and your brother

Edwin gave little wriggle, as If in SYM

MAY Be A
SUICIDE
The Police Follow New
Clues to Eva
Murder.

The cane knife used by the murder
er. Yanagi, together with his shoes was
found by the police yesterday in a
cane field some forty yards from the
scene de the murder in Eva. The police
are of the opinion that the murderer
has committed suicide.
High Sheriff Brown yesterday in
vestigated a seemingly improbable
story that Yanagi had been shipped
from Waianae in q wooden box and
that an effort would be made to get
him away on the Korea.
Conductor Maitland of the Oahu
Railway reported that two Japanese
put a big box aboard the train at
Waianae on Wednesday of which they
were very careful. Upon arrival in
Honolulu, the box was taken to Iwilei.
A search was made for the mysterious
Japanese and the box, yesterday but
there were no results. The Korea was
watched by the police all day for va
nagi, but he did not go aboard.
officer Mkt returned yesterday af-
ternoon with the cane knife and shoes.
He informed the High Sheriff that all
the Japanese in the vicinity of Eva
were bent on hunting down the muir
derer. They were of the opinion, how
ever. that he had done as he threaten

High Sheriff Brown believes that if
the murderer is captured it will be by
the Japanese, and the reward has now
been increased to $3.50.

RACE DAY
OFFICIALS
Rowing Men Fix Up
List For the
Fourth.

With the Myrtles at Pearl Harbor
and the Healanis on the way tomor-
row, there is little of interest in the
rowing on the harbor, as the center
of activity will be at the lochs. The
men are working in good shape and
the outlook is for some good going,
despite untoward conditions.
The Myrtles will lose one of the
standbys of the four. Lyle is laid out
with the dengue and so cannot be put
into the boat. While he may recover
in time to be out, it is hardly probable
that he will be strong enough to at
tempt a race even if so inclined His
ed against his being permitted to make
the attempt to race.
The Rowing Association has deter
mined the officials for the Fourth of
July on the lochs. They will be as fol-
lows: Judges-Lieut Harry Newton, A
G. NJ. Robertson, Walter E. Wall;
starter, L. de L. Ward; timekeepers.
Leslie Scott, II. P. Benson, Guy III.
Gere, T. ]. Harvey; regatta committee.
NJ. NJ. Johnson and w. c. Parke.
On the Fourth the first train down in
the morning viii be a special at
o'clock for the officials, the clubmen
who have things to do and others
whose duties call for their presence
early on the ground. The second train,
which is expected to carry the crowds,
will leave at S:45 o'clock, three-fourths
of an hour later than the first train.
Owing to the accommodations for the
people it is the expectation that the
crowds to see the races viii break all
records mis- year, and as well the sport
is thought to give all the signs of being
fine, owing to the close contests which
