Popularity Of the Dahlia.

Dahlias are growing in popularity,
md dahlia shows are held in some
cities In the wild plant the flowers
are single, with a dull gray and yellow
REsk; the varieties of the cultivated
farms are almost endless. The plant
MAS discovered in Mexico by Vincent
Eervantes about 1854 and was first
taken to the botanic gardens Of
Madrid and the same year it was in
4reduced into England by the march
dcness of Butte. The plant became ex-
tnct in that country and was again
aaken thither in 1904. In that year
Is found the earliest mention OF the
4ahlia, named from Andrew Dahl, a
Swedish botanist and pupil Of Lin
Aneus. In Mexico the tubers are cul-
hvated as food, on account OF the
Haantity of inulin they contain, but
elsewhere, though many times tried,
they never have become popular, be-
Ing regarded as unpalatable.

q few hours an evening or two ago

reason to believe a section of New

REVIVAL OF THE BAGPlPES.
Two Youno Women Are Looking tor
. ENGAGEMENTS.


u London society is threatened with
IN outbreak of that eccentric instru-
ment, the bagpipe. Several novelty
seeking society girls have learned
how to play, and are on the lookout
FOR evening engagements. Rumor has
it that petitions viii! be circulated to
saop them, says the Minneapolis Jour-
nsl. There is no dicounting the wave
OF terror which the announcement
has sent billowing over London.
Everybody realizes that if the bag
nfpe were once let loose in a private
drawing room the future of English
iprnelife would be seriously imperiled.
The Two girls leading off in this
latest accomplishment are the daugh-
ter of Lord Archibald Campbell and
the daughter of the late William
BLACK, novelist and newspaper editor.
Both young ladies were instructed in
The noisy art by the best known bags
ter, if one may invent the term, in
England or Scotland. His name is
Fraser, and he is the man whom King
Edward recently attempted to lure
away from the Scottish regiment, with
which he has so long been connected,
n be private bagman to the king. But
the loyal Fraser decided not to break
associations of long standing.

NOTICE TO FRIENDS.

Since the inauguration of the
Daily we have published all nc
tees whether there was a question
of revenue to those interested or
not, free; in some instances we have
been remunerated to some extent,
which is appreciated. Now, owing
to the numerous notices pu blished,
from which there is liberal reve-
nue. derived, it does not seem more
than right and just that we should
receive some benefit, especially as
we are issuing the D i l y at loss,
not including our own time and la
Dor. During the month OF Septemb-
or there was published locals, that
brought in a revenue to those inter-
eted, which if paid for would have
amounted to $10.45, at liberal rates,
and, more than this amount of an
nuncements of meetings, etc. outside
of regular church announcements.
Wednesday night there were 48
lines of free advertising. In every
instance, some one Is directly and
personally benefited by these no.
tees as the amount raised decreases
the individual proportion of expense
for the maintenance of the object
for which an occasion is held, why
should newspaper contribute to
all, any more than every business
man of locality. Advertising is
the principal commodity of any
newspapers of any character; it re-
quires employees time to handle 1T
and they must be paid, besides,
there are other items of expense
connected with the publication of ev-
cry notice that aggregate consider
able. If the advertising should be
considered of no consequence why
20 the trouble of even writing it.
It appears to us that where tn re
is a financial benefit derived or H.
volved IN the advertising we should
receive some compensation, so, that
on and after Monday, Nov. 10Th, all
local advertising or announcements
in the Dai lily Advan from
which there is financial consider
alton or revenue derived, will be
charged for at regular advertising
rates. When a notice runs for some
time the regular proportionate re-
duction will be made. No charge
will be made for any notice, as here
-tofore, where there ia no financial
consideration and such notices will
b as freely published in::the future

Commissioner Yerkes OF the internal reye-

officers a circular modifying existing regu-
lattons relative to packages Of tobacco OF
less quantity than one pound.
I'm order to meet what appears to be a
reasonable and legitimate request on the
part of manufacturers of tobacco for
modification of existing regulations In such
a manner as to permit Of the putting up OF
packages of cavendish, plug and twist to-
bacco of small denominations for use as
samples which may be properly distributed
through the mails or otherwise, the follow
ing Is hereby promulgated:
1.-THE use of strip stamps for tobacco Of
the denominations of 1, TX. 2, ~. 3. 3A. 4. q

Smoking at the Naval Academy.

On the recommendation of Capt Willard
H. Brownson. commandant OF the Naval
Academy. Secretary Moody has authorized
the discontinuance of the rule prohibiting
smoking atGthe academy, SO far as it ap-
plies to membersi of the first class. In the
opinion of'ftife Secretary the members of
this class are quite old enough to be re-
lieved Of such a restriction.
In taking this action. the Navy Depart
ment follows the lead Of the War Depart
ment in allowing the cadets to smoke in
quarters at West Point In his letter to
the Navy Department Captain Brownson
says that. in view OF the shortage of COM
miss!oned officers at the academy, increas-
ed responsibilities and dignities have fallen
to the members OF the first class. many of
whom are In measure acting as instruc-
tors to the younger midshipmen. He. there
fore. favors giving the young men of the
first classe-more privileges. and sees no
reason. II they care. to smoke. why they
should not be allowed to do so.
Although Captain Brownson does not say
SO in his letter. department officials say
that, in view of the fact that the young
men smoke anyhow. 1t Is better to give
some sanction to the practice. which can
thus be held in check, SO as to prevent ex-
cesses.
