A CURTAIN DEVICE.
Invention Of q Santa Fe Man for Sleeping
Borths,


A. Gusdorf, manager Of the Santa Fe
Mercantile Company, has applied for a
patent on novel and useful device that
promises him a fortune. His invention
consists of berth curtain for sleeping
cars, ship hunks and beds, that Is WOW
en- out Of single piece Of material or
of different textures scanned together,
but which does the service Of two cur
tains with all the advantages Of one. A
unique part Of the invention is a lock
or fastening device for the curtains
consisting Of plate and recess and a
key to fit the recess, the key having one
or more wards to secure one or more
curtains substantially as one. The in
vention does away with. the annoyance
on sleepers when person in the upper
berth opens the curtain and partly ex-
poses the lower berth. 1t insures per-
feet privacy on railroad or steamship,
even IL the lower or upper berth Is oc-
cupied by some one else. The invention
also comes handy in homes for curtains,
and should find a ready market and
wide sale. Mr.. Gusdorf first thought Of
the invention while lying on his bed on
the steamer on which he recently
crossed the ocean. He has worked at It
ever since, and constructed model Of
a Pullman sleeper with the curtain at
tached, and sent 1t to Washington to
secure patent.

Detroit, August 15.--The Interna-

subdivision of the craft in which they
are employed at the time of admission
and when issuing cards to such nom
printer members, secretaries Of subor-

osition for biennial instead Of annual
conventions was rejected by the con-
vention. Amendments providing that
none except journeymen printers and
