cupIOs WORK AT GIG HARBoR.
A Mother and Daughter In Love with the
Same Man.
Tacoma News.

Tacoma News
On Friday, so the story goes, promi-
rent lady OF the town attempted to COM
NIT suicide under such romantic circum-
stances that the bodybuilding industry
wos forgotten and Arthur Delplane is
now the topic of conversation. The
story OF this attempted suicide revolves
around a lady called McGuire, her
daughter Minnie, and Arthur Delplane,
and Arthur is either the hero or the
victim. =,
Mrs Mcclure is not fair, fat, and
forty. but she is fair, forty, and is sup
posed TO have bank account as well.
Her daughter Minnie Is the reputed belle
OF Gig Harbor.
Arthur Delplane also lives in Gig
Hsrbor. connected with the mill He is
about thirty years old. Arthur met Min
ME. and the result was that Arthur was
q constant visitor at the McGuire
homestead.
But Mrs. McGuire also met Arthur.
and she looked upon him, and he was
fair. She wanted him for herself. it is
said, and Immediately became rival Of
her daughter for his affections. The
Young man must have given Mrs. Nc
CURE some encouragement, for her affec-
ton apparently grew to something
stronger, and at last she found that
without him life no longer contained any
pleasures for her.
The daughter Minnie was the favo-
rite. however, and the mother was beside
herself with anger when she found the
two together on Friday evening acting
as il they were accepted lovers. Widow
McGuire did not leave them to their Joy
and happiness. She rushed into the
room and with a vail cried -
"Oh, Arthur you don't love me any
more F"
Just at this moment, unluckily for
Minnie, the family cat walked across the
room. Widow Mcclure grasped it by
the tail, and with her forty years
strength threw it in MiAnie's face.
Wherever n cat lands it lands feet first
and generally holds on. In this case the
cat Lit feet first and held on TO Minnie 6
face with its feet, az her face will testify
to-day.
Widow McGuire then ran out Of the
house and to the wharf, declaring that
she would drown herself. Arthur was in
a dilemma whether to soothe the Scared
face or gave life. He hesitated but a
moment and rushed after the widow and
reached her just as she was throwing
herself into the sound. She struggled,
but he was the stronger, and he carried
her back TO the house.
What happened thereafter Gig Harbor
would like to know. Arthur is still a
visitor at the house, but whether he is q
hero and has a mother-in-law, or is q
hero and victim only the future alone
will tell.

Street Improvements.
Tha SAaA.

Every citizen who considers the situa-
ton agrees that the appropriations for
street improvements i'll the past few
years have been entirely inadequate for
a city OF Richmond's size and claims
AS the State has frequently pointed out,
from three to four million dollars would
not be too much to cxpend on streets.
sewers, and park improvements in the
next ten years. The Council ought GER
tsinly not to think OF appropriating less
than 5000, 600 when the budget for next
year is made up. The Dispatch, in
calling attention to the Importance OF
this question and in stating the States
position, says here or article is quot

there would be no doubt OF the verdict
in case the sense Of the taxpayers were

English Rules in Regard to tho Htrsute
Adornment OF the Face.

bhliEnhNs MbsoDuBbt'
The order for walters to shave off their
moustaches inlVienna recalls to my mind
some incidents 0prOpOs to those appen-
dages in England. 1t is not so long
ago that Coutt's Bank issued an edlct
against them, which was tiercely resist
ed. There is now bank in the city
wherein no official may wear them, and
it is but recently that barristers and
clergymen have taken to doing so, whilst
no Judge or bishop would think of sport
ing moustache unless accompanied by a
full beard.
In the royal navy no one can wear
moustache alone without the beard, the
mode either being whiskers and no nous
tache, total clean shaving, or the whole
OF the hair on the face in the army no
one can go without it except tho chap
lain, while the pioneers Of the regiment
alone may wear beard.
1t is only of recent years that the po-
lice have been allowed TO grow the hair
on their face, and an actor with a NOUS
tache twenty years ago was almost I'M
known. the late Mr.. Sothern being one
OF the first TO wear it regularly. Fifty
years ago no soldier even wore any
hair on his face. while, so strange are
the changes Of fashion, it Is now be-
coming the style in London for the
rising generation to again shave clean.
