Providence, July 28 —— -Ii’nited States Senator Doolittle of isconsin ‘ died today at the home of his daughter, at Edgewood, near this city, of Bright’s disease. He was 82 years of age. The ex-senator was to have celebrat- éd the sixtieth Ianniversary. of his mar- riage today. The ex- -’senators illness began about He rallied and came east to attend the graduation of his granddaughter at Smith college. This weakened him and he was taken to Edgewood, since when' he had steadily become worse. Senator Doolittle was a native of. New York state and a graduate of Geneva i college. He was called to the New York .1 bar in 1837 and soonafter removed to Wisconsin. He filled many offices there, being elected to the United States sen- ate in 1855. He served two terms in that body and had, at the opening of the Thirty-seventh congress acquired a po- ' sltion of high confidence in the councils of the then young and triumphant Re- publican party. The senator had been originally a ‘ Democrat, but he supported with great ability, the administration of President Lincoln. . After the war was ended and Andrew Johnson was the chief execu- tive of the nation, Senator Doolittle sup- ported President Johnson in his con- test with the Republican majority in both branches of congress, which made him a still more conspicuous figure in the remaining portion of the presiden- tial term of Mr. Johnson, although it cost him his political position, as he was not re-elected. In later years he became a Democrat. and presided at the Democratic conven- tion of 1872 that indorsed Horace Greeley. for president. His career. in politics, however, is conceded to have practically closed on his retirement from the senate. THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. The Work of Removal to the New Build— ; ing About to Begin. Washington, July 28.—The work of removing the large collections of the congressional library from their present quarters in the capitol to the new con- gressional library is soon to begin. This will involve the closing of the library at the capitol for several weeks because of? the noise, dust and confusion inci— dent to the displacement of so great a mass of books. The removal will also require the constant labor of those now employed in the service of books and information to the public. A systematic plan has been adopted, by which the contents of each shelf in the many di— visions and subdivisions of the library will be separately boxed and trans- ferred, duly numbered and ticketed, to the shelves destined 'to receive them in the iron stacks of the new building. Shelf space will be reserved in each di- vision for large accessions, thus obviat- ing the necesslty of removing any of thegreat divisions from the places now assigned them for many years to come. The copyright department will be first moved and an office opened in the°new building. The removal will consume several weeks, and from 40 to 70 persons will be employed in the work.

Berlin, July 28.—The newspapers are widely discussing Dr. Miquel’s chance of success of recovering a majority for the government by reuniting the par- ties. It is admitted that he has a, great chance to distinguish himself, but the general belief is that he is not a strong enough statesman “to accomplish his aim.

Person with an Aladdin Oven. The problem or cheap living with varied and attractive bills of fine in cluding some luxuries, has been solved in a. very satisfactory way by four students of the School for Christian Workers in Springfield, Mass, who formed themselves into a club, called the Square, because them were four of them, and all square fellows. , These young men—W. W. Hastings. W. B. Goodale, J. M. Ramsby and N. E. Sanders—have for eight weeks done their own cooking, with the aid of an Aladdin oven, an invention of the econ- omist, Edward Atkinson, and the fig- ures show that their expenses during that time, including provisions bought, fuel, &c., were at the rate of $1.21 a Week for each person. Each meal cost on an average six cents for each per- SOD. Not one of the young men knew more than the first principles of cock- ing, but they all agree that the experi- ment has proved an undoubted suc- cess, and pronounce the Aladdin oven just the thing for young men working their way through college. The principles of the Aladdin over- are economy of operation, with slow- ness of cooking, which, it is main- tained, is the p10per way to cook all kinds of food. The heat is fuinis bed by avcommon oil lamp placed under an oven made of tin and lined with asbes- tos,‘by which the heat is retained en- tirely with-in the oven. Breakfast, for instance, was allowed to cook all night, and when the morning meal was over food for dinner was placed in the oven, after whichthe amateur cooks went about their studies and recitations. rPhe young men aver that they never tasted eatabtles so palatable, and lay . particular stress on the excellence of the beans and onions. They cooked all kinds of food, meat, fish, beans and other vegetables, and even baked a pudding, which, they say, was very ap- petizing. The experiment was con- cluded because the school year has ended, but is to be resumed next fall by other students. TO BECOME MUMMIES. A Corporation Formed in New York to (lo the Business. One thousand years hence we may be a race of mummies. Rameses, the an- cient house of the Ptolemys, including Cleopatra herself, may not be more hermetically sealed, nor air tight kept, than the rising generation. A New York business corporation proposes to erect a huge mausoleum somewhere in the upper part of the city—the site has not yet been selected —-where bodies of the dead, treated by a new dry air process, may be pre- served for centuries. The suggestion has been endorsed unofficially, and it is thought that the Health Board will sanction the proposition. The company ’fus. srmro \ 1 ( SUGAR-g/PED'V’ » ' ”coco . ate-urns expects to be able to emtomb 12,000 bodies,.and if it is successful there may “be others.” The proposition is to place the dead in cement receptacles and expose the bodies for several months to a current of air made chemically dry by passing over sulphuric acid. Afterward the air will be purified by fire, and then the receptacle will be made air tight. It would be a strange sight indeed should electricity continue its present remarkable strides, to see in the year 1997 the mummies all brought back to life; or listen to the conversation be- tween that great warrior and ardent lover More Antony and Emperor Gro- ver 1.; or for instance, Corbett and Fitzsimmons might find themselves re- viviiied in adjoining apartments with- out either Martin Julian.
