Silent worship Is Its chief characterization, Its differentiation from other religious bodies. It has no fixed theological tenets, says the Chicago Chronicle. Everything in Its view Is concentrated in an Introspective devotion. In accordance with its Ideas all personal strength, all mental and Intellectual force, Is derived from the silent attitude In worship. But absolute silence is not regarded by the Autolife society as the best form of Introspective worship. The members believe tliat a nice, good organ under the touch of a master hand, with the tremolo stop out at full length, and the sun falling through soft liued glass make a blending of color and harmony that attains the perfect atmosphere of silent worship.

Many heavy plate glass windows Were blown In. Telegraph and telephone companies were the worst sufferers, and It will be some time before order can be restored. Thousands of poles were blown down, and Chicago was practically isolated from the west and northwest by telephone and telegraph. New York, March 1L—Twelve of the crew of the British" tramp steamer Camperdown were taken Off- In Irons when the 'vessel came to anchor off quarantine yesterday. They are held on a charge of mutiny. The Gamperdown had been for 03 liourS'on a reef off Cape Lookout, and when she floated six firemen and six tailors refused to work her to New York on the ground that the accident had rende|£d her unieaworthy. They demanded that she should head for the nearest port, although careful examination failed to show any Injury to the craft. The two cabin boys were less alarmed. With the cook, the engineer, the second mate and chief officer they ran the ship under the captain's orders and brought her safely Into harbor. The crew meanwhile lay Idle In the forecastle munching ship's biscuit, for the skipper refused to send any. provisions forward. A grewioine story conies from London of the appearance of the "phantom barge of the Thames" for three successive nights preceding the death of the queen. This phantom barge is believed by the watermen of the Thames to appear when a member of the royal family is about to die, Just as the celebrated "white lady of the Hohensollerns" gives warning of the death of a monarch of that family. And when this phantom barge appears gliding through the low lying shadows and night mists of the river the great clock of Westminster, Big Ben, gives 13 strokes at midnight Instead of his ordinary doxen. Just now any number of Thames waterman can be found who say they have seen the phantom barge and heard Big Ben strike his ominous number. Deaths ot Royalties. In the course of llie last few months Applegate lind received anonymous letters and one or two visits from Whitecaps. He had been repeatedly warned to leave this part of the country, the reaaon assigned being his harsh treatment of his wife. Applegate himself asserted that be was being made the victim of personal persecution and declared that he knew who was Instigating the Whltecap movement against him. BUILDING RUINED TODAY Let 2.

O molasses .60 There are well authenticated Instances of Big Ben haviug struck 13 at midnight. Once a soldier on sentry duty at Windsor was charged with having slept on post and was sentenced to be shot. It was charged that he was asleep there at midnight of a certain night. His defense was thst he was not asleep and that he had heard Big Ben in London strike 13 at the moment he was charged with having been sleeping on duty. It was proved that on that night Big Ben bad struck 18 and had been heard In Windsor. The man was pardoned. This Is a recorded case, but the record does not Say that any catastrophe happened to the royal family the next day. It is said'that the phantom barge appeared on the Thames at midnight and Big Ben struck 13 on the night before the death of the prince consort, and that the same things happened the night preceding the death of the Princess Alice and of the Duke of Clarence. When the phantom barge appeared on Jan. 13, 1892, the night before the death of the Duke of Clarence, another boat, pulled by four men, gave chase. The phantom boat glided BWlftly toward the terrace of the house ot commons and vanished. The pursuing boat dashed against the stone embankment and was wrecked.

The storm la believed to have been most severe In southern Wisconsin. Along a short stretch of the Milwaukee road in southern Wisconsin COO telegraph poles are down.  On another occasion several men disguised as Whltecapa visited Ms house, but were driven away by Applegate with a hatchet. A peculiar coincidence Is that only a few days ago Applegate drove to this city and Informed several acquaintances that he fully expected to be killed before long. All these occurrences are amply corroborated and have led the authorities to upon an Investigation, although there is no proof that the man's death was caused by anything other than a kick from his horse. General French's operations to the end of February resulted In 1,000 Boer* being killed, wounded, captured or surrendered. A commandant, seven 'Held cornets and two landrosts were captured. In addition there were captured 7 guns, 8B0 rifles, 180,000 rounds of ammunition, 6,000 horses, 211 mules, 0,000 trok oxen, 27,000 cattle, 175,000 sheep and 1,700 wagons and carts, some of American design. The, official reports regarding the progress of the bubonic pjague in Cape Town since the outbreak show a total of 22 deaths and 102 cases. The Malays gathered yesterday to oppose the removal of a Malay who had been attacked by the disease and of several persons who had come Into contact with the victim. The police were overpowered, and the persons who had come Into contact with the Malay made their escape. In the event of a repetition of this experience It will be necessary to employ an armed force, 10. that trouble Is anticipated.

After touching at Cardenas and Matanzas she bore away for the lea run, and on the night of March 8 was oft Cape Lookout. The weather was thick, and the steamer was running half speed. At 5 o'clock on the morning of the 4th she struck the reef, and It was found Impossible to back her off. Anchors were put out astern and everything done to lighten her bows, but It was not till 10:30 p. iu. on the 6th that she was floated. Off the reef, Captain Smith dropped anchor to see what damage had been done. There were no signs of a leak, and as the ship's carpenter and engineers reportfed ay sound orders were given next morning to get up Bteam and hoist the anchors. Slraeh lh. Reaf.
