That makes five men who had formerly

"Another thing that I have thought OF
IL the fact that ex-Presidents of recent

of the early Presidents lived many years

HOTEL REVOLUTION COMING.
''Gustave" Says American Plan Best
Music with Meals Unnecessary.

American hotel managers have made

pletely the European plan in the opin-
ion of Gustave A. Seggelke, hotel
manager of world wide fame, who has
just arrived in this country to assume
charge of the Yama Farms Inn. out
side of New York City, because as a
native of Austria, he says he found 1t
difficult to manage a London hotel.
''Gustave"-as he is known in every
corner of the globe-believes that
certain aspects OF the American plan
appeal SO strongly to the regular hotel
customer. that If it can now be
rescued from the oblivion into which
the craze for the European plan sunk
ii. there will be a revolution in hotel
management. both here and abroad.
In a word. he believes that the hotel
patron wants to have at least a faint
idea of what his bill will amount to
before it's time to leave. and, also. to
abolish many of the extras, by which
q guest is given an opportunity to
spend money every time he makes
turn.
He also scores the attitude of hotel
employees on this side of the Atlantic

as number SO and so, and entitled to

| of Booths stay at his house. and told
! how he showed Herold the way across
the swamp. He acknowledged that he
had been introduced to Booth in the pre-
ceding November. when Booth was in
that section on the ostensible business
of buying farm.
DR.. Mudd was now shown photo
graph of Booth. and was asked il he
recognized il as that of the man whose
leg he had set. He answered that there
was resemblance in the hair and eyes,
| but that the man wore a beard and
was so debilitated that the resemblance
was not great enough for recognition.
The interview ended with the detectives
telling DIR. Mudd that he must come
with them to Bryantown: that doubtless
his detention would be brief.
So bidding farewell to his weeping wife
and children. DIR. Mudd rode away with
the detectives. He was destined not to
see his home again for four years. after
a sentence to life Imprisonment at the
Dry Tortugas. in the Gulf of Mexico,
had been abated by pardon.
The Case Against DR.. Mudd.
At Bryantown DIR. Mudd was taken
before Col. II. II. Wells. Of the Twenty
sixth Michigan Regiment, head of a mill
tary commission of three officers appoint
to obtain facts regarding the assassin.
In three interviews, between Friday night
and Sunday, one of which lasted five
hours. DIR. Mudd went over and over
the story Of his acquaintance with Booth
and stated that on reflection he now be
lieved that the man he treated was
Booth
That was all; yet the officers felt the
doctor must be concealinc something. To
them the case against DIR. Mudd looked
black. lie had strong Southern sympa-
thies. He had been tardy in notifying
the authorities of Booths visit. and in
bringing forward the boot.
The one question that remained unan-
swcred by convincing evidence was: Did
he recognize Booth and know he was
the assassin when he treated him and
helped him on his way? DR.. Mudd SOL
EMMY affirmed, even after he had been
pardoned from life imprisonment. that
he did not. AT the time of DR.. Mudd's
arrest two residents of Charles County
to whom Booth had revealed himself as
the assassin were hiding him. at risk OF
their lives-and they were never to an

suffer much from too kind treatment
when they should be left entirely
alone in a cool temperature.
In winter daily Swinging of grow
ing plants is sufficient, and during the
hot months fresh water evaporated
several times a day makes much
better moisture than that of stagnant
water.
AS rule. orchids do better when

little or no moss at all is preferred
by the majority of growers Often
strong roots, some of them one and a
half feet long, hang in punches far
below the blocks, and these roots
keep in healthy condition, while ported
plants show more or less decayed
roots in the pots or on the surface of
the dressing.
About the beginning of the year
many orchids will show flower buds
all up the stems of last seasons
growth and can then be kept in tenn

from 20 to 25 days they will be in a
blaze of flowers.
They should be kept growing slowly
till toward spring, and then plentiful
ly supplied with heat and moisture
till growths are finished and bulbs
firm. After that water should be
gradually withheld till they are stored
away to their needed rest.
While Towering, the plants should
be looked over every day to see that
they have proper drainage, and the
sphagnum that has become decayed
should be removed and fresh used in
reporting.
At this season they should be care.
