volume of some three hundred pages and
is the property of Mrs. r.. Downing, Of
Scranton, a sister of Mrs. w. A. Staples,
of this town, and traces the family con-
nection back without a break to the year
1885, when Adam De Karey was lord of
the castle Cary. Somerset, England. In
the reign of Edward / the name came
to be spelled Cary. Sir William Cary
married Mary Boleyn, a sister of Anne,
the unhappy consort of Henry VIII. At
"Torr Abbey is preserved the valuable
pedigree drawn up by the Herald's col
lege at the express order of Queen Anne
Boleyn. 1t begins thus: This pedigree
contains brief on that most ancient fam
lily and surname of the Carys and shows
now the family was connected with the
noble houses of Beauford, Spencer, SOM
erset, Bryan, Fulford, Orchard, IIolWaY'
etc. Queen Elizabeth sought to form a
matrimonial alliance between Sir George
Cary, her cousin, and Mary Queen of

the name of little Helen Stuart Watrous,

sreat-grandfather, Samuel Cary, was in
the Battle of Wyoming. lie escaped
massacre but was captured by the In
dians and by them held a prisoner for six
years, when he effected his escape and
returned to Wyoming. If little Helen
ever chooses to identify herself with
colonial danes she can show a pedigree
clearly traced back to the Doomsday
Book of William the COnquerOr. Hcary

Rev. Joseph Dudkiewicz, pastor of the
Holy Trinity, Polish Catholic church of
Naticoke, celebrated the silver jubilee
of his ordination to the priesthood yes
terday. The event was tremendously
observed. Father Dudkiewicz has had
a most eventful career. lie was born
in Poland and at the age of IL years en-
listed in the revolutionary army that
was then unSucCessfully ContendinS
against Russia. After the war he re-
turned to his studies and at the age of
"a was ordained u priest of the Roman
Catholic church. OF an intensely patri-
otic and sympathetic nature his duties
as a clergyman gave him unusual oppor-
tunty for seeing the effects of Russia $
tyranny and oppression OF the Poles and
his remonstrances frequently cmbroied
him in trouble with the Russian authori-
ties. His charge was in a mining district
and one day came an order from the gov

be disregarded ad work be carried on as
on any other day. Father Dudkewlcz re-
fused to respect this order and told his
parishioners TO observe and keep holy

OF Holy Trinity church, Nanticoke. lie
Is reported to be the most eloquent ana
forceful pulpit orator among the Polish
Catholic clergymen Of this country.
