Some iilea of the size and conse quent requirements of the Bloomsburg Normal School maybe gathered from the steward's recent report to an in terested inquirer who put it in print as follows : One hundred and twenty loaves of bread and from 30 to 35 pounds of butter are consumed daily. One hun dred and eighty poundj of beef make a roast for dinner. Five bushels of apples are used to make the sauce for a meal. Mr. Housel showed us the milk bill for October. We were aston ished to find that 3,430 quarts had been used in a single month. Nine boiled hams averaging 16 pounds each furnish enough cold meat for supper, while 65 pounds of sausage goes for breakfast. Thirty gallons of soup, 15 gallons of coffee 4 bushels Of potatoes and 40 pounds of cheese were items in a single meal. It took 15 gallons of oysters for a stew last night. A Boy Deliberately Shoots his Parent at Pittston. Murder occurred at Pittston on the 12th inst., by a 17-yearoId boy delib erately shooting his mother, who died soon after. He was captured and jailed. The murderer, Henry Martin, is the son of Mr. and Mr;. Thomas Martin. His brother in-law, who lives with the family, returned from a drive and as the horses were muddy and hot, he told young Henry to clean them. The two have not been good friends for some time and Henry replied that he did not have to clean the horses and he had better not order him around. Powell replied : "If you do not be have yourself and clean those horses right away, I'll tell your father, and he will give you a sound thrashing. You need one, anyhow : it will do you good." A few more words ensued, the boy becoming angrier.until at last he called Powell a vile name, Powell then struck him on the head sevetil times with his open hand and the boy screaming with rage shouted : "1,11 blow your head off for that," and ran into the house. His mother, hearing the noise of the quarrel, went into the yard and was talking with Powell when her son rushedout with his rifle, a flobert, in his hand. He raised it to his shoulder and took deliberate aim at Powell, who was but twenty feet away. The mother, with a cry of horror, sprang before the latter crying, "Don't shoot, you do not know what you are doing." J'Yes I do," he replied angrily, "and if you don't step aside, I'll shoot you." His mother advanced toward him, pleading with him to put down the gun, but he calmly .aimed at her head, and when she was about ten feet away he fired. The ball entered just below the right ear, and pierced the brain, and with a moan of pain she fell to the ground. Unaflected by the sight of his dying mother, the boy clubbed his rifle and rushed at Powell, swinging the weap on at his head with all his strength. Powell avoided the blow and grappling with the young murderer disarmed him. By this time, the father and other members of the family were on the spot and some neighbors who heard the cries and the shot summon ed the officers. When the policemen appeared, the father of the family was raising the dying mother from the ground, while the others were standing around weep-"K- The boy was alone in a corner, sullen and apparently unaffected. He was arrested and jailed. Physicians who were summoned could do noth lng for the injured woman and she died soon after the shooting. OPEBA HOUSE.

Mr. Thilip Unancst. who was stnVk en with paralysis on Saturday evening last, died on Thursday morning at 8 o clock. His death was as peaceful ma me was regular and even. Thus passes away one of Blooms burg s oldest and best citizens, who has lived in the town for nearly sixty years, ame here a young man of 21 and lias grown up with the town. He was a faithful member of the Lutheran church from the time he came. Being of rugged health he was never missing at any of her ser vices. For 30 consecutive years he was Secretary of the Sunday School and for many years an elder in the church. His place was never vacant either in church, Sunday school or prayer meeting. Since his retirement from the Secretary's office in Sunday school, three years ago, he occupied a chair beside the Superintendent's platform which was always filled. He held a number of positions of trust in the community, one of which was Treasurer of the Cemetery company, and not a grave has been located in the new cemetery without his direc tion. The beginning of his last sick ness dates to the locating of a grave in the heavy snow of last spring, since which time he has been compelled to walk with a cane. The community loses one of its best citizens, the church one of its truest and most faithful members, the Sunday School a life long friend and worker, and his home a fond father and a prudent head. To his wife and children we extend our sympathies. There are three children living, George and Mary, who are yet at home, and Charles, a prominent attorney in New York, all of whom were by his bedside when he passed away. The funeral will take place on Saturday at 2 o'clock. Oatholio Sisters May Teach. Supreme Court Affirms the Lower Court's Decision in the Gallitzin Case. In the case of John Hysong et al vs. the school district of Gallitzin borough et al. better known as the " Gallitzin school case," the supreme court at Pittsburg on Monday affirmed the decision of the lower court. Justice Dean, in delivering the majority opin ion, says in part : " This bill was filed to restrain the school directors of Gal litzin borough from permitting secta rian teaching in the common schools of the borough, and from employing as teachers, sisters or members of the Order of St. Joseph, a religious society of the Roman Catholic church. " In the sixty years of existence of our present school system this is the first time the court has been asked to decide, as a matter of law, that it is sectarian teaching for a devout woman to appear in a school room in a new dress peculiar to a religious organiza tion of a Christian church. We decline to do so ; the law does not say co. After a most careful consideration we see nothing of merit in any of the assignments of error. The decree is affirmed and appeal dismissed at the cost of appellants." Justice Williams handed down the minority dissenting opinion. THAT SUPPEB. The chicken and waffle supper given by the ladies of the Lutheran church last Friday evening was a marked success in every respect, the net gain being something over $50. The ladies were vigilant, their tables were tastily arranged, their edibles healthful and appetizing, their location favorable, their charges reasonable and their chicken a little scarce to ward the last. However, the crowd was more to blame than the ladies for this, and what may have been wanting in chicken was amply sup plied in waffles served in good style. ELLA CLEMASTINE B0D6EB3.

A derailed Lehigh Valley freight train scattered a lot of protected su gar along the track recently, and the Hungarian workmen near at hand re moved the protective duty temporarily anu jusi ncipea themselves to as much as they could carry in bags, But it is not likely that this stolen taste of free sugar will affect either their politics or religion. The strongest nation on earth nu merically is China, whose population in the absence of a census is rated all the way from 400 to 600 million. And at the same time she is the weakest nation on earth when it comes to the matter of self defense, as is clearly de monstrated by the repeated defeats she has suffered from the commence ment of her war with Japan whose population is but 40 millions.
