VestibHle curtains are usually hung
with rod top and bottom and allow dou-
BILE fullness if possible. Finish them
about five inches longer than the glass
opening, so the hemming will not be
seen on the outside. In hanging place
the upper rod first, slip the lower rcd
through the hem and drawdewn tightly
enough to cause the curtain to hang in
well defined plaits, serewing on the
brackets to hold. For a door with single
large opening a pretty treatment is to
have the curtains in pairs, fringed and
weighted with shot. Shirr up the top,
put on rings for the rod. A traverse
cord and pu1leys, with dainty tasseIs to
match, are a nice addition, but as such
curtains would be within easy reach
one could dispense with the traverse.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
John Booth Has Both Legs Badly In
jured.

Yesterday morning Jos. Booth, aged
65 years. and employed as a carpenter
in the Union Pacific works, met with a
terrible accident. He was engaged at
some work in the yard when heavy
transfer table came in his direction,
striking both of his legs. One was COM
pletely fractured below the knee, and
the calf of the other was so badly lacera-
ted that it bore the appearance as if it
had been chewed by dog.
Mr.. Booth suffered intense pain, and
was conveyed to st. Vincent's hospital
for treatment. He is widower and has
two daughters living in Albina.-Tele-
gNem.
Mr.. Booth is well and favorably known
IA this city, having resided here for
years, and is member of the A. o. U.
W. and K. of P. lodges of this city.
From the report it does not look possible
that he will survive his injury, and il
not his body will probably be shipped
to The Dalles for interment, as his wife
is already buried here.
LATER-A dispatch from Portland, re-
ceived by Frank Menefee, states that
Mr.. Booth died last night, and that his
body will be shipped to The Dalles Sat
urday night, the funeral taking place on
Sunday.
