CHICAGO POLES OVERLOOKED
REMARKABLE DEMONSTRATION
IN STREETS LAST NIGHT.
Weep as They Join New Bishop at
Conservation Service in Singing
"God Save Poland"

CHICAGO, July 30-With a parade OF
10000 men in line, the blare of bands
the thrill Of fireworks. the glare Of light
the gAyety Of flags and bunting and at
tire, the pealing Of church bells. the JOY
Of feasting. the excitement of oratory
and the bursts of sons. nearly 100000
night In one Of the most remarkable fes-
tivals that Chicago ever had seen. Prac-
tically every one Of the thousands OF
Chicago people of Polish descent was
actively. vociferously. hilariousiy cele-
brating through the streets.
Uniformed societies representing every
one of the thirty-two Polish parishes In
the city formed q great parade and es-
corted one another to the churches of the
principal Polish district. The cause OF
the demonstration Is Rt. Rev. Paul Peter
Rhode. the new auxiliary bishop OF Chi
cago and first Polish-American elevated
to the episcopacy of the Roman Catholic
Church.
A dramatic incident which marked his
conservation was eagerly discussed las,
night by the celebraters. When the
clergy at the cathedral formed in an i'm,
of the vestments, crucifixes and croziers
to leave the church the choir, through
with the sacred ritual Of the conservation,
swung enthusiastically yet prayerfully
into the strains Of God Save Poland
the national hymn Of the Polish people.
All Join in Song.
Every Polish-speaking person in the
cathedral, men and women. priests and
nuns, and. above all, the bishop-el
took up the plaintive measures Of the
song. Its sad significance touched them
more deeply as they thought Of their
countrymen lying in the prisons Of Rus
sia. Prussia and Austria for having dared
to intercede musically with the Deity for
their beloved country, and the singers
gave way to their emotion and wept like
children.

role Is played by q former county and
city treasurer Of Omaha. Neb. and in
which the chief feminine part has beer

strangely endeavored. only last October

BALTIMORE. July 3O.-By the finding
of the partly mutilated body of young

to solve.
The dead woman is said to be Mamie

ouenter of the resorts in that section Of
Baltimore county. and who Is supposed
to have resided somewhere on Central
avenue.
Coroner August W. Miller is working on
the case and says he will not allow the
matter to drop until a sweeping investiga-
ton is made The coroner Is inclined to
believe that the girl met with foul play.
and the condition of the remains when
found, together with other circumstances.
strengthens the belief that the girl met
with a violent death.
Cause of Death Unknown.
At the inquest which was held after the
remains were taken to the Mount Winans
police station no light was thrown on the
mysterious death of the woman. and the
Jury rendered verdict that she came to
her death from unknown causes. The
sruesome find was made by q Lithuanian
laborer employed by Mr.. Peter Abramo-
tbs. the proprietor of Shady Side Park.
About 4:S0 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the hired man, after finishing his task of
cutting rass in field belonging to his
employer. returned by way of the woods
adjoining Shady Side Park When about
one-half way through the woods he no.
ticed the body Of the woman.
without losing any time the laborer
notified Mr.. Abramotis. who in turn called
up Coroner Miller. and later both men
hurried to the woods to make an investi-
CATION. When viewed by Coroner Miller.
the girl was lying on her back, almost
nude. On the body were several bruises
while her neck and head looked as though
they had been struck with blunt instru-
ment.
Clothing Torn Oh.
The lower clothing Of the woman had
been torn of and tied about her waist
while the upper part Of her wearing APP
parel had been stripped from her in q
like manner and wrapped about the arms
and neck.
Screams were heard emanating from the
direction Of the woods in which the re-
mains were found Saturday night. This
