Polish People Remember Woman
Who Suffered Exile From Her
Native Land.
(Herald Sneciall


Cracow, July 17-All that is mortal
of the late Helena Modjeska, whose
name will go down in history as one
of the greatest emotional actresses
ever seen on the stage in Europe and
America, was consigned to it's final
resting place today. The funeral GER
emonies which preceded the inter-
ment took place in st. Stanislaus Ca
thedral, which was deliberately draped
with emblems of mourning. Admis-
sion was by ticket and the spacious
edifice was crowded in all parts. The
Polish people, we'll remembering that
the famous tragedienne was exiled
from her native land because of her
efforts in behalf of their political
freedom, turned out in full force to
pay last tribute to her memory The
catalogue upon which the remains
of the actress lay in state for two
days previous to the interment was
piled high with magnificent wreaths
and other floral offerings sent by ia
nous players, literary and art socie-
ties and personal friends and admir-
ers in many parts of Europe and
America.
