On Tuesday, Edwin III. Barnes,
who was arrested about ten days ago
on the charge of criminally abusing
his own daughter, Minnie Mabel
Barnes, was brought before Judge J. r.
Houser on an Information filed by
Attorney King, accusing: him OF the
crime of rape. Barnes plead guilty 10
the crime as charged and was sentenced
by the court for term of fifteen years
at hard labor in the penitentiary at
Walla Walla. It seems that Barnes
daughter has been an inmate of the In
dian school in Oregon for the last five
years, but about year ago her father
sent for her on account of the Ill health
of his wife, who died last January.
Some time during the month of Octo-
Der last Barnes accomplished the rum
of this daughter, who is only child 10
wears old, and under the law defining
crimes of this nature, is under the age
of consent. Barnes is about So years OF
age. We think the punishment ln-
flicted by the court in this case Is en-
minently just, for the felony Win
which he stands self-convicted before
the court is one of the most bestiai, de-
grading and revolving known to the
law or the moral sense of mankind.
The unfortunate girl is not blamed IN
this matter, as she was coerced and
threatened by her unnatural father Il
she made his crime known. she mas
been given a refuge and shelter and Is
| now kindly cared for in the home OF
Mrs. Henry Cayou, at Deer Harb0r
The county officials who have had the
| ferreting out and prosecution OF this
case, together with those citizens o.
Deer Harbor who so efficiently assisted
them in the matter, deserve great creai'
for the prompt manner in winch TN
case has been handled.

icctcd the price of -four. Wilmington

. TOURISTS ABROAD o.



oToo.oo0,0 900 . Year.
The amount Of money expended by
tourists in Europe has, il official records
abroad are to .be accepted as authentic,
increased enormously Of late years.
There has been recently filed with the
Swiss minister Of finance and customs
ct Bern q detailed statement Of hotel
receipts in that country, from which 10
appears that the gross receipts of Swiss
hotels rose from SO, 800, 900 francs In
1880 to 1888, 900 in 1895. The entire
annual expenses of the Swiss republic
amount in year to between so, 900, 600
and 80, 200, 900 francs (the budget for
this year is given at the latter fgure),
and it would seem, therefore, very much
as if the hotels Of Switzerland take in
in a year more than the government it.
self does
The Swiss figures are not the only
ones furnished in Europe recently on
this point A French record shows that
every year there are $40, 900 foreigners
who pass from q fortnight to a whole
winter on the Riviera Every person is,
supposed to expend on an average !, 200
francs, or 5000, in the country. In 9TH
er words, the foreign visitors spend in
the country every winter the sume Of
$54, 900, 900. The English are put down
as contributing one third of this amount;
the French themselves contribute anoth-
er third; Germans, Belgians, Dutch,
Russians and Americans contribute the
remainder From being poor country
when it was annexed to France in 1860
Nice has become one Of the richest de-
partments Of the republic.
Some figures recently compiled of the
revenues to hotels from tourists in Paris
show the average number Of foreign
visitors to be 90, 900. 1t is customary
to estimate at 10 francs, or 81, o day
the hotel bills Of strangers in Paris.
Estimating at 81 day each the hotel
bills Of go, 900 tourists and at about as
much more their other OUTLAWS It is to
be seen that tourists in Paris can be put
down for an expenditure of nearly $780,
900 day.
The total sum expended by tourists
in Europe in year is probably not very
far from $500, 900, 900, and very con-
siderable portion of this comes from the
pockets, the purses and the bankers

verbally the most liberal among travel

Strange Things Men Do While In q State
Of Somnambulism.

Strange Things Men Do While In q State
Of somnambulism.
Readers of that charming work of my
late friend Wilkie Collins, 1.-THE Noon
Stone" will remember the sleepwalk.
ing feats Of Mr.. Franklin Blake when
under the influence of an opiate. What
the novelist describes as piece of fic-
ton may be paralleled from the sober
records of science.
McNish, in his classic volume on
"Sleep, tells us of a shepherd lad who,
wrapt in slumher. walked miles to the
place where his flock was pastured,
waded through a river and returned
home without waking. In another case
lad in his sleep scaled a precipitous
cliff and brought home from it an
eagles nest, which was found under his
bed in the morning.
Abercrombie's case Of the Scottish
lawyer who, when worried over per-
picking case, was seen by his wife to
rise from his bed in the night is an
ether illustration Of the occasionally
purposive character of somnambulism,
when, directed by its private secretaries,
the sleeping ego is apparently reused
from its couch and made to act the part
Of pure automaton. This individual
went to writing desk which stood in
his bedroom, sat down before the desk
and wrote for some time. Then, replace
ing the paper within the desk, no re-
turned to bed
In the morning he told his wife of
dream he had experienced, in which he
imagined he had given a satisfactory
opinion on the case which was trou-
bling his mind. He expressed regret
that he could not recall the train Of
thought represented in his dream. On
his wife directing him to his writing
desk, he found therein tho opinion in
question clearly written out and in
every respect satisfactory. Andrew

Middletowp, May 81. The Delaware
Volunteers continue TO be without cloth
ing and munitions Ono company mas
but three revolyers and another three
rifles.
1t 10 probable that the soldiers will be-
paid by the state tomorrow. The amount
which the state will pay In wages is not
large, but 1t is needed and the boys will be
glad TO get 1t. This was no fault Of the
st re, however. Tho state treasurer had
no money on hand with which to pay the
amount and he was compelled to wait un-
til the money was borrowed to pay tho
current expenses of the state, including
the payroll. The money has now bsen
secured and the men will DO paid. An
other thing which has kept back the pay
Is that there was question as to when tho
state would stop payment and the govern
ment begin.

rSREATHt PURE AIR. 7



Breathe pure air alwaya In the lungs
most important physiological process
occurs It Is from here that the blood
laden with oxygen IL sent to all parts of
the body, giving of along its course its
oxygen and taking up carbonic acid gas,
which 1t brings at last to the lungs,
when 1t is cast out in expiration. More
oxygen is taken in by inspiration and
the same process is repeated.
So let your breathing be full and deep,
going to the very bottom Of the lungs
IN order that all Of the blood in them
may receive its full amount of oxygen
before again starting upon its tour of
distribution through the body. Can one
use any more forcible argument in favor
Of loose clothing than this2 It is abso-
lutely impossible to secure plenty of
oxygen If the clothing is worn at all
tight, and oxygen is food which the
body must have always in abundance to
keep well.
The air leaving the lungs is laden with
that deadly poison carbonic acid gas,
which If given off in a close room when
no provision is made for its escape and
the entrance of pure air soon renders
the air utterly unfit to breathe. Perhaps
some night you will find yourself un-
able to sleep and tumble restlessly about
in bed. When this occurs, go to an open
window and inhale the fresh air, breath
ing slowly and deeply. A few minutes
OF this and you can return to bed and
probably will soon be sleeping quietly.
What has happened? By it's restlessness
the body was asserting its need of more
oxygen. Now you have given it what
1t so emphatically asked for, and it is
quiet. We get as much uneasiness and
disturbance from the want of this food
as when we do not eat enough, only the
symptoms are not so we'll understood
nor recognized SO quickly. Always keep
your mouth closed and breathe through
your nosa Then the air is warmed,
slightly moistened and largely freed
from particles Of dust, 50 that when it
enters the lungs it does not irritate
them
A condition often met with by ply
sicians is an9mia. In this trouble the
patient is pale, lifeless looking, tired
and generally used up, often without
being able to tell distinctly how she
does feel. Sometimes these patients say
that they have not enough blood. 1t is
really only an element of tho blood
which is wanting, but that is very
important one-namely, the red blood
corpuscle.
When you know that it is only those
corpuscles which have the power to take
up and carry oxygen, you see at once
how important it is that the blood
should not be lacking in them. Good,
wholesome food, plenty of it and well
digested will give you the corpuscles.
Furnish them with the oxygen and the
body will have an important element
toward health. What to Eat.
