Boston Rector Finds Genealogical Tree Extending Bnek to Adam; Kev. William Hyde, rufttor of the Trinity Episcopal church, Weymouth, Mass., bellows no' only that the British are direct descendants of the Israelites, but that King George V ls a lineal descendant of a cousin of the House of David. "The royal hons" of Britain." says Mr. Hyde, 'traces lils ancestry back to the line of David and of Judah. To be specific: Tea Tophi, daughter of Zedekiah, tho last kin ft of David's lin?', married Foch al de, the young king of the Dnnltos, in the north of Ireland, in r>8:l B. C. They were married by tho prophet Jeremiah end crowned on the Bethel stone. "Eoc.halde himself wa? of the royal line of Judah, since he was descend ant of one of tile twin sons of Judah, David being a descendant of the. other twin son. "This marriage was tho beginning of the royal houso of the Scotts, and this Jino in time, through the Bruces and Stuarts, boca mo Un- royal line of the British Empire. "Oeorgo V, Ihoroforo, is a descend ant of David, nul belongs to a' dy nasty which can never cease to exist, for it l?as tin- promise of Cod that lt will never cease to have a descendant to reign over tho people of Israel, Tho English-American people are this lace; hence Ihev are the people of God. "Further, wo can trace tho lineago of tho British ruler back even as far US A do m. Anna, a courin of Mary, tiie motlier of Christ, married a prince of tho royal house of Britain, and hence became on ancestor of that house. "God said that ho would establish the throne of David forever, and that David would never ceaso to have a descendant. George V ls a fulfilment of these word'-., for h0 is a descend ant of David, and ho sits upon tho throne of Israel." TflrSiJ.?5BIL?OUBNKS8 BITTERS AND KIDNEYS THE WHOLE THIN? IS A FRAUD.

In ids lotter >f resignation to the Governor Mr. Stroman says: "At the time ol' my appointment as game warden for this county I was of tho opinion thal the people would in a measure Bupport me in bhe en forcement of tho laws relating to Kamo and tish. Almost daily I re ceive lottors telling of the violation of tho laws- -shooLing dynamite, us ing traps, etc.--but in no instance have 1 found thom willing to go into tho courts and testify as to the KU Ht of the parties named. "Having no funds at my command by which tho law can be enforced, I am, In justice to my feelings hi thc matter, forced to offe ? you my resig nation. I will not countenance a half hearted stand in this matter, and will einher prosecute tho parties violating the laws or will lay down the bars and allow everybody to shoot the bottom out. of the river, and thereby entirely destroy every vestige of Ash. "Our near neighbors in an adjoin ing county come down here by droves armed with dynamite and Winchester l ilies, fully filled with their own fam ily brands of corn whiskey, and after breaking loose as many boats as may bo needed, proceed to blow up every living or creeping thing In or near the banks of the South Edlsto river, well knowing that, the 'devil takes caro of his own,' and that they have little to fear, except tho Inevitable headache, caused by the freedom of the bettie of liquid hell that they always carry with them.

Governor Blease yuki Thursday that lils visit this week to tho State ve formatory at Florence, the establish ment of which he as Stale Senator opposed, had (lutte converted him to t ho reformatory idea as there oxom 1)1 i dod, and lt would be his pleasure to recommend liberal support of that Institution by tho General Assembly. "Tho placo ls clean, sanitary and pleasant," Maid the Governor; "there is no flubdub about its administra tion, and 1 was struck with 'tho home like atmosphere prevailing. I be lieve Superintendent Emmens and his family are devoted to their young charges, with whom ho appears to have just the relation he ought to have." Governor Moase said 'ho opposed the measure proposing to croate tho reformatory becauso lt originally provided for tho caro of white and colored boys in the same institution. For that reason he held up the pro ject for two sessions, until the meas ure was amended so as to provide for white boys only. Teach Roys Trades. "At present facilities aro at hand for the teaching of no trade other than terming," said Hie Governor. "I shall favor the making of proper pro vision for the instruction of the boys in one or two good plain trades, such as carpentry, painting, shoemaking and the like. 1 hope to seo tho re formatory built up. It ls a valuable asset." How to ?et Out. There is one thing about the re formatory that ls puzzling tho Gov ernor somewhat. Ho is constantly in receipt of petitions that ho release boys regularly committed to tho In stitution. Tho law appears to make no provision for tho releaso of an In mate except upon the order of tho board of directors or on a writ of habeas corpus from the chief justice or one of itlhe circuit Judges. Tho Governor is of the opinion that this law ls defective, but his aijvtco to pe titioners is that they employ counsel to present their cases. Where boys have been voluntarily committed by parents or guardians, appeal should be made to the directors of the re formatory. The Governor cannot well consider petitions for the release of any inmates except such 'as 'have been committed by a court upon con viction of crime. Who Are Directors? Another matter In reference to the reformatory which Governor Blease has under consideration ls the compo sition of the hoard of directors. He does not intimate that ho hos any desire or Intention to make any changes, but he wishes to ascertain inst who are tho directors. The rec ords at the State House are not at all clear on this point. Governor Rlease has asked W. R. Barringer, of Florence, whom he understands to be secretary-treasurer of the hoard, to furnish bim with a list of the dl reotors.
