HURRICANE WRECKS A TOWN.

Port Darwin, an Australian Town of
Importance, Laid in Ruins.
Port Darwin, a small but important
town in South Australia, was almost en-
tirely wiped out by one of those fearful
hurricanes which periodically strike the
coast of Australia, destroying property
and very often life. Luckily in this case,
no lives were lost, but from the meager
reports which had been received in Sgd
ney previous to, the sailing of the steamer
Wartime, the loss of property must have
been very large. The wind was accom-
panied by heavy rain, which ruined the
furniture in residences and goods in stores
which had been deprived of their roofs
The residents had to obtain shelter as
best they could. 1t was miracle that no
one was killed. The telegraphic wires
were demoralized by the storm and conse-
quently news from the. scene of the dis
aster is far from full. The rain and light
ming started Monday, and rain was pour
ing down on the following Thursday when
the barometer began to fall andsthe wind
to howl. The wind was at it's height by
Thursday morning and kept it up all day.
Among the few dispatches received from
Sydney was one from the postmaster, in
'.The town is practically destroyed, all
buildings being either heaps of ruins or
very badly damaged. The rainfall Mon
day and Wednesday was 4.39 inches. On
Thursday one inch was recorded"
Killed Horse for Food.
In st. Eouis, John Giesen, German,
took horse away from crowd of BOYS
and drove it to his hut and killed it for
food. Giesen was out of work, and with
his wife and four children was starving
to death. The horse belonged to a coal
dealer, who allowed it to roam at large
because it was lame. Some boys were
driving it around in the snow when Giesen
seized the horse. The boys, who follow
ed Giesen, saw him kill the animal. cut
off the hind quarter, and start to roast it.
Giesen told the policeman when arrested
that he and his family had eaten nothing
for three days. They had eaten no meat
for months.

How Worry Affects the Brain

Modern science has brought to
light nothing more curiously in
teresting than the fact that worry
will kill. More remarkable still,
it has been able to determine, from
recent discoveries, just how worry |
does kill.
1t is believed by many scientists
who have followed most carefully
the growth of the science of brain
diseases, that scores of the deaths
set down to other causes are due
to worry, and that alone. The
theory is a simple one-so simple
that anyone can readily under
stand it. Briefly put, it amounts
to this: Worry Injuries beyond
rapair certain cells of the brain;
and the brain being the nutritive
center of the body, the other or
gans become gradually injured,
and when some disease of these
organs, or q combination of them,
arises, death finally ensues.
Thus does worry kill. Insidi-
ously, like many another disease,
it creeps upon the brain in the
form of single, constant, never
lost idea; and, as the dropping OF
water over a period of years will
wear a groove in stone, 80 does
worry gradually, imperceptibly
but no less surely, destroy the
brain cells that lead all the rest
that are, so to speak, the comman.
ding officers of mental power
health, and motion.
Worry, to make the theory still
, stronger, is an irritant at certain
points, which produces little harm
if it comes at intervals or irregu
} larly. Occasional worrying of thu

Details of Saturdays Meeting OF the
Board of Trustees.

(San Francisco Examiner, May Ioth.)
There is a possibility that within the
next tWenty-four hours the Preston
School of Industry will be left TO the
care of the inmates, as every oHicef,
from the Superintendent down 10 the
laundryman, has resigned. The pros
pect is not a pleasing one, ana the
members of the Board of Trustees DO
not hesitate to pronounce the resigna-
tons contemplate and to intimate that
If damage results there viii be suits
against the retiring Superintendent
and prosecutions against others on
Charges of violation Of duty.
The facts came to light unexpected
ly at the monty meeting of the board
in the Grand Hotel yesterday after
/ noon. The trustees had been in session
all morning considering plans, audit
ing bills and disposing of routine bust
ness In the afternoon the resignation
of DR. f Carl Bank as Superintendent
of the school was read. The resigna-
ton was not unexpected, as it had been
asked for two weeks ago as the result
of a change in the complexion OF the
board due to the appointment OF DR..
F. D. Tyrrell in place of Fayette Mace.
Previously the board consisted or two
Republicans and one Democrat. Now
the President, Z. NJ. Preston, is the sole
Republican and L. NJ. Maddox and F.
D. Tyrrell are Democrats.
My place was needed for political
reasons" said Bank, and sc had to
go"
The board then proceeded to the
election of a successor. There We're
