SERMONS NOT BLAMED.
Drowsiness Of Pew Occupants Traced
to Church Decorations.

CHICAGO. April AFTER a patient
Investigation. the Rev. W. T. McEIyeen
has reached the conclusion that the
decorations OF the First Congregational
Church at Evanston. and not his SER
mons. have been responsible for the
drowsiness of his audiences.
For months he strove to stop the nod
ding Of heads, and then he sought the
counsel of Miss Stella Skinner, art in
structor at Northwestern University.
After making an inspection of the
church. she said:
How can a person listen to an ad-
dress when the decorations of the
church are inharmonious? When the
curtains are pink, the cushions red and
the decorations are yellow and blue, the
emotions Of the audience are affected
and they become drowsy. What is need
ed is a system of colors that will not
have a depressing effect"
Letters were sent today to members
of the church asking that steps be taken
To redecorate the building.

QUEENS WERE WORKING GIRLS
Egypt Prospered After Their Ele-
vation, Professor SAYS.

PHILADELPHIA. April 4.-The history
of Egypt is replete with proofs that the
feminine secretaries and girls Of the
working classes in the ancient times We're
responsible for the growth and prosperity
Of that country. Such was the declara-
ton by DIR. Max Muller. Psychologist of
the University Of Pennsylvania, in an ad-
dress yesterday. He lauded Taia, the
first real queen ever chosen from the
common ranks in Egypt.
Amenophis III. King OF Egypt 1,4OO
years before the Christian era, became
enamored Of Taia, a plain. old-fashioned
working girl, and from the moment he
declared her the official queen Ameno-
phis had prosperity. DR.. Muller said that
the old kings used to approve Of the
harem.. but polygamy ended when Amen
ophis gave Taia a regal wife's right. The
speaker showed picture Of the king and
queen eating at the same table and one
of Amenophis holding his wife on his lap.
= The successor OF Amenophis III mar
ried a working girl also. and his reign
lasted for many years. while the country
prospered.

AERO CRUISER
LEAVES FRENCH SOIL
Landing Of Airship Explained
to Satisfaction Of
Authorities.

LUNEVILLE, France, April 4.-The
German air cruiser Zeppelin ", which
landed on the parade ground here in the
midst Of brigade of French rif1emen
yesterday, was reinfated and departed
for Germany at o'clock this afternoon.
The landing Of the .airship yesterday
was satisfactorily explained to French
board Of inquiry today. The ,airship and
her crew were afterward released on pay
ment Of $1,000 as customs duty, and the
incident was declared closed. The crew
of the dirigible had been kept virtually
prisoners throughout the night.
The investigation conducted by French
military authorities concluded with the
following findings:
''The balloon belongs to the Zeppelin
company; the German officers on board
were designated to test the working of
the dirigible before acceptation by the
at Luneville because those in charge had
lost their way, and the officers on board
perceived they. were near q French gar
rison town."
Capt. Glund. the ranking German officer,
gave his word of honor that neither he
nor his companions had taken any OBJ
servations of military value. Thereupon
the officers were dismissed. and the police
commissary of Avricourt accompanied
them to the German frontier.
The eleven officers and mechanics on
board had been requested to remain in
Luneville until the incident was inves-
tigated.
The aviators asked IL they might be
allowed to sleep in the cabin of the air
ship, which is Of about the dimen-
sions Of Pullman car. The. French
commandant consented to this, and tn ,y
passed the night on board, surrounded by
fifty French sentinels. posted ostensibly
to prevent the merely curious from ap-
aching.
BERLIN. April 4.-The straying of
Zeppelin ~ into France comes as dou-
BILE blow to German army circles, for it
shows that airships still are subject to
the elements to such degree as to make
them undependable. and it permits the
French officers to inspect the latest type
of military Zeppelin and learn details of
construction and equipment which have
been kept religiously secret.
There is no apprehension Of any trou-
BILE over the incident. The dirigible has
not been taken over by the German gov
ernment and private property Is not SUBJ
ject to seizure.

800 at Auburn, NY.

AUBURN, N. Y, April six strike
rioters were shot by the police today
during an attack on the plant Of the
Columbian Rope Company by a mob of
800 persons. Two Of the six are fatally
injured.
After the shooting the situation became
so serious that Mayor O'Neill called out
the fire department and the local militia
company.
The mob, all foreigners, gathered in the
vicinity of the plant at o'clock this
morning. Chief of Police Bell and a
equad Of thirty officers were stationed
there. They attempted to arrest one Of
the leaders Of the mob and the strikers
became ugly.

police in hand-to-hand battle, and the
bluecoats were getting the worst Of it
when Chief Bell ordered them to draw
their revolvers.

Six strikers, two women and four men,
dropped. One Of the women and one of
the men will die.
After the shooting the mob reformed
and made another attack. The strikers
obtained. bags of salt and threw it into
the eyes of the police. who finally, to
avoid further bloodshed took up a posi-
ton inside the mill gates. The strikers
then charged on the gates.
Repulsed by Fire Hose.
The police were fighting against great
odds, and rumors that many of the
strikers had gone back to the foreign
colonies to obtain weapons caused Chief
Bell to send for the fire department.
Lines of hose were laid and the strikers
were driven back gradually. They con-
tinued in an ugly mood. however. and
Mayor O'Neill decided to call out the
militia.
The riot call was sounded through the
streets. and within an hour Capt. John
son and half his company had assembled
at the state armory. They were ordered
to patrol the entire city. while the mayor
went to parley with the strikers.
