Tor United States exhibits.
PsrisiAns who so long have revealed in
the cabarets representing death, heaven
and hell, which almost every visitor con
siders part Of the sights Of Paris, are
now offered another morbid attraction in
the shape Of a drama written and per
formed by a couple of Parisians who have
just been released after serving terms OF
imprisonment for attempted murder. One
is an actress who was convicted of attempt
ing. to dispose of a rival by a diet of pms
concealed in a pudding. Ine other was
the heroine Of q cause celebre last year.
She had tried to poison her husband with
strychnine, and on conviction attempted
to commit suicide by driving . hat pin
through mer heart. The women made &C,
quaintance with each other while in the
PRISON Of st. LAEAre by rappings on the
wall dividing their cell On their re
lease recently they wrote a play, which is
very sensational, and which viii shortly
