Letter Lost For II Years.

Paris. Feb. 25.--After having lain
seventeen years in postofficc at
Concarneau, a letter has just been
delivered to q business woman in
Lorient. The receiver OF the epistle,
which intimated the postponement
of IN engagement, was strangely
puzzled by the contents. On cXamin

date was September 1893.

to tomb, upon which last visit she

upon her return, while at dinner, a

the Roman general, for Clsopartra
the Egyptian ehhantress, stands out
boldly as showing the triumph OF
love over all things. This court
ship succeeded IN changing the map
of the world. Cleopatra was ambi-
tious. She practiced the couquette's =
until she had completely enslaved
the mighty Caesar. The object she
meant to accomplish was to make
herself equal ruler of the world
with him. Caesars murder put an
end to such hopes.
Cleopatra returned to Rome dis
appointed in her ambitions, but not
discouraged, for during her brief
residence there she had formed 4
deep attachment for Marc Antony
This was returned by the Roman,
who followed her to her home and
wooed her to his death. Antony
might easily have become his sue
cessor Of Caesar had not his love
for Cleopatra led him captice to
Egypt, where he wiled the time
away in the company of the siren of
the Nile. until finally finding him
self impoverished, powerless and
eventually discarded, he killed him

ALL HARTMAN
SHOPMEN STRIKE
MEN WALKED OUT YESTERDAY
MoRNINe--RAILRoADs SAY
THEY WILL NOT SUFFER

Chicago, Sept 2s.-The long,
threatened strike of snopmen on lie
Hartman lines, including the Illinois
Central, became reality at 10 o'clock
this morning.
The union presidents declared this
afternoon the men had not weakened
in their intention to force the rail
roads TO recognize their newly estab-
lished federation of shop employees by
means of strike and that more than
80 per cent. of the men quit work.
The fight, they say, is likely to
prove long drawnout. The railroads
on the other hand, say the strike viii
not hurt them as they have men to
take the places Of the strikers and
that their schedules will be fully
carried out.
