MANSFIELD IN PARIS.
An Operatic Performance and Its Con-
scquenccs--A Duel at Longchamps--
4 Journalist. Severely Wounded.
Frunn the Bn.ton TINES. !,
It appears that wherever Helen Josephine
Mansfield makes her appsaEs,1ce, trouble aud
mischief aro certain to follow in her wake. For
somo time past she has been in Paris, and,
although soorned and slighted in numerous in
stances by docont persons upon whom she tried
to force her company, she has left nothing IN
done to obtain, notoriety in the metropolis Of
France. It would be futile to deny that in this
endeavor she has, In measure, succeeded.
Aside from the report which VAS extensively
circulated that Mrs Mansfield lost s37, 900 BY
tho failure Of Bowlea Brothers--a report which
Mas afterward authoritstively denied-she has
caused several lawsuits, some OF which will
eventually prove causes celeores, and even
brought about q mortal combat between two
Parisians, IN consequence of which one OF them,
u journalist OF somo prominence, Was severely
wounded.
Tic particulars Of this affair, which borders
sorious1esults, SCI a1e IS follows:
Some time ago, Mrs. Mansfield, who, after
being refused admission ct the Grand Hotel du
Louvre, went to eecond-class boarding house
in the Rue Scribe, made her appearance at

that eren;nu by the o1cefiont troupe Of the
Opera Comi9ue. Mrs. Mansfield was eorgeousy
dressed in q suit OF white satin, and tue display

thinV yery unusual in Parisian society. But,
aside from the sensation wh:ch har appearanco

pressed her dslight at what she aav and heard:
