BosToN, Dec 21-The annual catalogue Of
Harvard university will be published to-day.
It shows gains in nearly all Of the nine de-
partments, the total number of students be-
ing 1889 against 1912 last year. The number
Of officers rises to 245, against 22s last year.
OF these, 1913 are teachers. the largest gafffs
are among the regular undergraduates and
students in the divinity, scientific and dental
schools.
Changes are made in the requirements for
admission to the college, but the scientific
school abolishes Latin as one of its require
ments for admission and presents marked
changes in its courses Of study. A course in
electrical engineering is introduced, giving
candidates entering the school their choice of
five departments-civ engineering, chemis-
try, geology, biology or electrical engineer
ing.
When the student has once made his choice
of a department his four years course OF
study is thereafter prescribed for him. The
significance of this modification of the elective
system is apparent. The graduate department
contains 95 students, holding degrees from
80 different universities Among the under
graduates are 80 men admitted to advanced
standing from other colleges.

SPRINGvALE, Me-, Dec. 26.-Much excite

what is believed to be the brutal murder Of
Mrs. John Bernier by her husband. Friday
morning DIR. w. J. Mayberry was called to
attend Mrs.. Bernier, who was suffering from
poisoning with paris green. Bernier said
she took it herself in spite of all he could do
to prevent it. The doctor succeeded in re-
leving her of the poison and left her. The
next day she was reported dead. An exam
ination into the facts shows apparently that
on Friday night, while the woman was still
suffering from the effects of poison, Bernier
beat her cruelty and drove her out of doors
in the bitter cold, where she stayed for a long
time. Finally she crept back into the house
again, when he commenced beating her
again, continuing till satisfied.
