ParlS' Latest characteristic Sen6a-
tional Crime.
From the Paris Figaro.
A thrilling incident marked by a cele-
bratei fight has added another to the series
of remarkable crimes which are peculiar
to Paris in dramatic incidents.
A married woman named Hortense Dali
zine has been living in an inpaSse in the
Rue Philippe. She has been famous for
many years, not only for her exceeding
beauty, but for the strict propriety of her
life. She has been married for five years
and hos lived in the greatest amity with
her husband. and no breath af suspicion
has ever been uttered against her.
Notwithstanding tais apparent virtue she
had formed an attachment before her mar
riage with man named Louis Berthon,
who is now 40 years, and during the whole
period of her married life she has been in
the habit Of receiving him during her hus-
bands absence.
AT THE MOULIN ROUGE.
The latter. however, had no suspicion Of
this state OF affairs until last Monday, when
he suddenly discovered that often during
his absence at night his wife had gone with
Berthon to the well-kuown dancing nall, the
Moulin Rouge, where she was in the habit
of dancing the can-can in such a manner
! that it had become one of the sights of Paris.
So careful. however, had she been that she
always insisted on wearing veil over her
face go as to effectually conceal her features.
This concealment OF her identity as we'll as
her daring dancing, caused her to be a tenn
porary rage in Paris.
During these nightly excursions Berthon
was always her compvnion and as a matter
of course on these occasions when her hus-
band was at home the Moulin Ridge was
danrived of its main attraction
The reputation the unknown dancer had
achieved by her reckless audacity was so
absolutely at variance with the home life
Hortense had always lived that the bus
band was 10th to believe that the two
women were one and the same person.
He. however. took active means to prove
the matter, and every day he learned some
thing more of it. Devoting all his time to
the inquiry, he soon became aware of the
details Of his wlfe's double life, which was
certainly of most sensational character.
THE HUSBAND SETS HIS TRAP.
Concealing the knowledge he had &C
ouired from the various sources, he made
an appointment for his wife and Berthon
to dine with him the next evening, the
night Of the fete. at a well-known cafe in
the Avenue Parmentier. The three sat at
one Of the tables on the street and enjoyed
very delightful dinnsr. At the end 1t.

The other two seemed TO take very little
interest in the matter, naturally enough,
but the husband dwelt upon it at leng b,

talent.
Finally, when he thought he had OK
hausted all he could legltimately say con-
corning it, he calmly drew pistol. and
pointing it at Berthon, exclaimed aloud:
HAnd you are the man who taught my
wife thus to amuse the public and neglect
me-"
With these words Daizine fred and the
bali passed through Berthon's ear.
The latter sprung TO his feet, but before
he could escape the irats husband fired the
second time and the ball entered his body
aud Berthon fell to the ground.
