 Voila the Duchess!

 Her throat is very slender.
 Black is the real favorite of course
 But those in becoming colors are used
 They must harmoniZe with the gowns hue.
 One style of bow to finish it is the flat pump.
 The other is a pert little affair shaped like a butterfly.
 Charming jeWeled pendants en- liven these little neckbands.
 They are graceful shapes in forms of bowknot, bird and insect de- signs.
 The long pear-shaped pendant is favored in Paris and many white and colored crystals are worn to match gown accessories. :.

Harvard Students Enthusiastic.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 19.-All Harvard turned out to the stadium yesterday. The undergraduates marched to the field with their band and after the team had put on it's last drill swarmed up onto the stone seats and cheered the team as it ran up and down the field half dozen times on signals. There were songs as we'll as the cheers, and not a player or coach was forgotten.
 The varsity worked as for the first two days of the week, Wilmington re- maining at right guard. Weston was out of doors and Friday will go to New London with the team. 1t is said that he surely will start the game. The players now are fit for the battle on Yale Field.
 Captain Charley Brickley ran through signals with the substitutes, but is not in shape for any real work He tried one drop kick from the twenty-eight yard line and kicked in his old time form. As the Yale game comes to hand there is no doubt that he will go in to try for a field goal Saturday if the occasion demands.

COACH DISMISSED
 FOR CROOKEDNESS
Sent Player Back Into Game in Dis guise After He Had Been Ruled
 Off GridirOn.

AS an aftermath of the incident during last Saturdays football game with New York university, when the Stevens coach substituted player who had been ruled out of the game, Head Coach Ayres has been dismissed by the Stevens athletic council. Ayres was a member of the West Point team several years ago.
 The unusual action on the coachs part was taken when the manager of the team was off the field and when the captain was out of the game dis abled to such an extent that he could take no part in the afairs of the game. The substitution did not come to the notice of the college authori- ties until yesterday, when President Humphreys and the athletic council started an investigation.
 During the Investigation it was learned that the coach had been guilty of deception in sending back a man disguised by plasters over his face and wearing a different sweater. AS result the athletic council promptly dismissed the coach, and in spite of the fact that it is within four days of the end of the season and one of the biggest games, that with Rutgers, is all that remains of the Stevens schedule.

drunkenness vanished in Russia. The results are seen at once in the peas antry, already beginning to look like a different race. The marks of Suf- fering, the pinched looks of illness and improper nourishment, have gone from their faces. There has been also a remarkable change in the ap- pearance of their clothes. Their clothing is cleaner, and both men and women appear more neatly and better dressed. The destitute character of the homes of the poor has been re- placed with something like order and thrift. In Petrograd and Moscow the effect of these improved condi- tions is fairly startling. On holi- days in these two cities inebriates al- ways filled the police stations, and often they were lying on sidewalks and in the streets. Things are so different today that unattended women may pass at night through sections of these cities where it was formerly dangerous even for men, Minor crimes and misdemeanors have almost vanished.
 This miracle has been accomplished virtually by one man-Michael D. Tchelisheff, a peasant by birth, a house painter by profession, then mayor of the city of Samara and now a millionaire. Physically he is d giant, standing over feet inches in his stocking feet, and of powerful build. He is fifty-five years old, but looks much younger. His movements display the energy of youth, his eyes are animated and his black hair is not tinged by gray.
 In Petrograd MT. Tchelisheff is gen. erally found in luxurious suite of rooms in one of the best hotels. He goes about clad in blue blouse, with a tasselled girdle, and baggy black L. eeches, tucked into heavy boots. He offers his visitors tea from a samovar and fruit from the Crimea.
 Beginning of the Crusade.
 "I was reared in a small Russian village" MT. Tchelisheff said. '"There were no schools or hospitals or any of the improvement we are -accustomed ed to in civilized communities. I picked up an education from old newspa- pers and stray books. One day I

that the bureaucracy had been able l to obstruct the measure. Minister of l Finance Kokovsoff regretted it as a dangerous innovation, depriving the government of 1,O00,000,000 rubles ($500, ,00O,000) yearly, without any method of replacing this revenue. While I lobbied in Petrograd the emperor visited the country around Moscow and saw the havoc of vod- ka. He then dismissed Kokovsoff and appointed the present minister of ti- nance. M. Bark.
 Mobilization precipitated the anti vodka measure. The grand duke, re- membering the disorganiaztion due to drunkenness during the mobiliza- ton of 1904, ordered the prohibition of all alcoh ollie drinks except in clubs and first class restaurants. This or der, enforced for one month, showed the Russian authorities the value of abstinence.
 Felt No Priyaton.
 'In spite of the general depression caused by the war, the paralysis of business, the closing of factories and the Interruptions of railroad traffic, the people felt no privation. Savings banks showed an increase in deposits
 
 the corresponding month of the pre- ceding year. At the same time there was a boom in the sale of meats, gro- ceries, clothing, dry goods and house furnishings. The 3O,000,O00 rubles a day that had been paid for vodka were now being spent for the neces- sities of life.
 'The average working week in creased from three and four days to six, the numerous holidays ot the drinker having been eliminated. The working day also became longer, and the efficiency of the worker was per- haps doubled Women and children. who seldom were without marks showing the physical violence of the husband and father, suddenly found themselves in an undreamed-of para disc. There were no blows, no 1n- suits and no rough treatment. There was bread on the table, milk for the babies and fire in the kitchen.
 Opens Press Campaign.
 1T decided to seize this occasion for a press campaign so far as this is a possible thing in Russia. I organ ized delegations to present petitions to the proper authorities for the pro- longing of this new sobriety for the duration of the war. This step found favor with his imperial majesty, and an order was issued to that effect. Another similar campaign to remove the licenses from privileged restau- rants and clubs was successful, and strong liquor is no longer available anywhere in Russia.
 "The second month of abstinence made the manifold advantages so clear to everybody that when we called upon his majesty to thank him for his recent orders he promised that the vodka business of the gov- ernment would be given up forever. This promise was promulgated in telegram to the Grand Duke Con- stantine.
 There remains now only to find elsewhere the revenue which up to the present time has been contributed by vodka There has been introduced in the Douma a bill offering a solu- ton of this question. The aim of this bill is not the creation of new taxes or an increase in the present taxes, but an effort to render the government domains and possessions more productive.''
