An Exciting Sccne in the State Capital aA
 Boston.
 Boston, April 4.-There was a ssnsa- tion in the house this afternoon. MT. Moriarity of Worcester rose in his seat on question of privilege and attacked one of the reporters in the gal- lery for an articie in a recent issue of a morning paper regarding himself. He said he did it on the advice of several friends and made the charge that this man had taken advantage of his posi- tion to "exact tribute from those who were foolish enough to pay it."
 The definite form which this had talk en, he said, was the reporters urging him to vote for friend of his to act as stenographer in reporting certain com- mittee hearings before the mercantile affairs committee. The reporter had offered to mention him favorably from time to time In case he did.
 He declined to vote for the report CTS friend, and he regarded the attack in the morning paper as a result of his refusal to grant the request.
 Great interest Is felt as to what ac- tion Speaker Meyer, under whose per mission the reporters are present at the proceedings, will take in this matter. Tn case the charge which MT. Moriarity makes is made good it is though the reporters will have to leave the gallery

AGAINST THE CATHOLICS.
THE SCHEME OF THE NEW YORK
 POLICE JOSTICE BILL.

Elbrldge T. Gerry Said That He Was
 Afraid That the American Protective
 Association Was Back of tho Movement
 and That the Features Were Anti-Catho-
 lie.
 Albany, April "A final hearing on the New York city police justices bill, which abolishes the justices and pro- vldes for nine police magistrates, was had before the senate judiciary com mittee this afternoon. Elbridge T. Ger ry asked to have twenty sections of the bill stricken out as unnecessary and vi- cious. He said the judges are eminent criminal lawyers. He intimated that social, political and religious prejudices were shown in the drafting of the bill. Perhaps, he said, there were too many democrats and Catholics in the courts.
 Senator O'Connor asked if the pecu- liar features were not really anti-Cath- olic.
 MT. Gerry answered that they might be.
 Senator O'Connor asked if 1t was not possible that those back of the bill wanted to get justices who would dis criminate in favor of a sect.
 Mr Gerry stated that he felt certain something of the kind was intended Senator McMahon assented to this idea.
 MT Gerry said he understood the bill was drawn by the committee of ten for the committee of seventy. Senator O'Connor intimated that the A. P. A. was back of these MT. Gerry was afraid there was something in these stories.
 Senator O'Contnor noted that none of the friends of the bill appeared, al- though all had been notified.
 Several gentlemen, including Justices Feitner and Taintor, made arguments against the bill,

They Are Needed at Cuba to Find the In-
 surgents.
 Washington, April 4.-The number of Spanish troops in Cuba will within thir- ty days, aggregate 40,00O Upwards of 18,000 are now in Havana and in the diff ferent provinces and at least 10000 more will leave Cadiz this month. The pres ence of these troops, it is said, does not indicate belief on the part of the Span ish government that so great a force is necessary to crush out the insurgents, but that they are needed there because of the difficulty of finding the insur- gents.
 The latter are carrying on a guerilla warfare and are said not to exceed 5000 at the utmost. Their operations are confined wholly to Santiago de Cuba, which is filled with great mountain ranges in which the insurgents find ref uge whenever pursued by the Spanish troops, and from which it is difficult to dislodge them.

A Connecticut Case in United States Su
 preme Court.

preme Court.
 Washington, April 1.-The applicabili- ty of the liquos laws of the state of is involved in a case submitted to the supreme court to-day. Mason Gray, a pharmacist licensed by the state of Connecticut to pursue the business of pharmacy, and engaged therein in the town of Groton, was arrested and con- victed on the charge of selling intoxi- eating liquors without license, which was required by the laws of the state.
 The county commissioners were charged with the duty of issuing these licenses and they were given discretion to refuse them. The commissioners of New London county evidently did re- fuse to grant license to Gray. He ap- pealed from the judgment of conviction by the court of common pleas to the su- preme court of errors of the state and thence to the supreme court of the United States. His counsel argued that the state had licensed him to pursue the business of pharmacy; that it was beyond its power through the board of county commissioners to deprive him arbitrarily of his right to pursue that business, the compromising of drugs with liquors being an essential part, and to do so was to deprive him of his property without due process of law.
 The state, through its attorney, an- swered that the law complained of had been held by the supreme court of the state not to be repugnant to the consti- tuition, and that the right of the state to pass such laws and the fact that they are the sole judges of what those laws shall be had been repeatedly upheld by the supreme court of the United States.

No Signs of wholesale Removal of Massa-
 ohlsetts Mills.
 Boston, April 4.-The Globe says that from what can be picked up from the gossip around the state house 1t appears that the labor section of the report of the committee on mercantile affairs on their trip south to find out why the mills of Massachusetts wish to go south Is one upon which there Is a wide difference of opinion among the various members. The report will say that at present there are no signs of a wholesale removal of Massachu- setts mills to the south as there are more spindles in Massachusetts than in the past The report will not speak hopefully of the scheme of establish ing mills near cotton fields or near coal mines as cheapness will be equal ized by expenses in another direction.
 The report will not speak hopefully of the scheme of establishing mills near cotton fields or near coal mines.
 The report will give the following distinct causes which are attracting the cotton industries of New England to the south:
 Nearness to cotton fields, cheap tene- ments, cheap coal mild climate, low taxes, abundant water power and ab- sence of restrictive labor laws.
 On the labor question, which is really the most important part of the re- port, is where the division of the com mittee Is really the greatest as the portion of the report submitted ad- vises national legislation In the hours of labor for women and children and asks that the commonwealth take steps toward securing such legislation.

CATHOLIC FREE MASONRY
She Nucleus OF Such an order Now Form
ing in Brooklyn,

IN ~
BRooKLYN, July ga new order, for
the present known as the Knights of Co.
lumbus, is forming in Brooklyn, with the
probability of its extending not only
throughout the state, but all over the
country and Canada, and perhaps beyond
the borders Of the American continent. 1t
is to be a sort of Catholic Free Masonry,
and several lodges have already been
formed. One lodge Is made up almost
entirely in its membership from the rolls
Of the Columbian club in this city,
The purpose of the new order is for mu-
tual help and the furtherance Of such
schemes Of benehcence in the way of life
insurance protection for families and the
like as may commend themselves to the
best Judgment of the members.
1T is TO do for the Catholics, " said one
of the promoters today, what Free Ma
sonry does for such men as may enter that
order. Politics will be absolutely tabooed,
as it is in Free Masonry, and the founders
of the order hope that, with a friendly
feeling toward 1t in the church, a vastly
influential membership will be gained"
The idea preached by a few club men of
forming such an order grew so rapidly
that it has been determined to call a con
ference of those who would be most likely
to join, and a circular for that purpose is
now being prepared.

The Original Blowout.

"You have often heard the expression
we had a great blowout last night used
In connection with a dance or some sort Of
amusement, ~ said a gentleman yesterday.
DO you know the origin of the word
blowout No? Well, I'll tell you of it.
Away back in the thirties the cotton mills
at Lowell, Mass, were furnished with
operatives from the families of the farmers
living about the town. The sons and daugh-
ters of the sturdy farmers held positions in
the mills, and coming from such good old
stock there was n sort of social spirit de-
Veloped among the employees which is not
found in factories in these days. From
the factories of Lowell some prominent
people have come. Helen Hunt jackson
was employed there at one time.
The hours were long, and in winter
time lamps had to be provided to give
light to the workers. 1t was before the
days of kerosene, or, as they used to pro-
nounce it when 1t did come out, 'kero-
SEN with the accent on the o. Whale
oil lamps were burned. They were lighted
on Nov. l regularly every year, and their
use was dispensed with on May /. 1t was
the operation on this latter date that origi-
mated the word blowout When the bell
sounded on this day to quit work, all
lamps were blown out simultaneously,
not to be lighted again until November.
This was called the blowout, and after
this a dance or supper would be given,
which at first was called the blowout
dance, or blowout supper, until finally
any festivity attending the extinguishing
of the lamps for the year was called the
blowout So the word blowout was
originated. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.
