II. CLAY EVANS in an interview
SAYS: THE conditions of the Re-
publican party in Tennessee has for
a number of years been one of non
action and selfishness, aimed not at
the strengthening of the party, but
at the perpetuation Of bossdom. The
results have been that in Middle and
West Tennessee especially many of
the respectable Republicans have
kept almost entirely from partici
pating in politics and elections"

Very Much Pleased.

Wm. Thompson, president of the Shan non Copper company, who went up to Clifton last week to look at the Shannon mine for the first time, returned Wednes- day and left for his home at Butte, MT. Thompson is one of the prominent min ing men of Butte, and had the idea that while there might be other districts be- sides Butte where copper could be pro- duced in limited quantities, yet Butte was the copper camp or the world. When he went to Clifton he had hopes that he would find ore enough in the shannon mine to warrant the erection of small reduction works and the produc- ton of copper in small way. When he returned he had entirely different view of affairs. He now thinks the Clifton country is the greatest copper camp in the world, and that the shannon mine is the best mine in the camp. He inspect ed many of the mines owned by the Ari- zona Copper company, and he says they have more ore in sight than can be work ed in an hundred years. In fact he was as enthusiastic as it is possible for man of his years and temperament to be, and frankly owns that he is enthusiastic Lordsburg Liberal.

| James Cardinal Gibbons, Arch bishop
OF Baltimore, has issued the following
regulations for the observance of Lent
by the Catholics Of tais diocese:
/. All the faithful who have completed
their 21st year, unless exempt by dispen.
sation or some other legitimate cause,
are bound to observe the fast of Lent.
2. They are to make one meal only a
day, except on Sundays.
D. The meal permitted on fast days is
not to be taken till about noon.
A. A small refreshment, commonly
called collation., is permitted in the even
ing.
5. The following persons are exempt
from the obligation of fasting: Persons
under 81 years of age, the sick, nursing
women, those who are obliged to do hard
labor, and those who, through weakness,
cannot fast without great prejudice to
their health.
Q. The faithful are reminded that, be-
sides the obligation of fasting imposed
by the church, this holy season Of Lent
should be, in an especial manner, time
of earnest prayer, Of sorrow for sin, OF
seclusion from the world and its amuse-
ments, and general aims giving.
By virtue Of an Indult to the United
States, dated August Sd, 1887, the follow
ing special dispensations are granted:
|. The use Of flesh meat is permitted
at all meals on Sundays, and once day
on Mondays, Tuesdays Thursdays and
Saturdays, with the exception of the
second and last Saturdays of Lent. But
flesh meat and fish are not to be used at
the same meal during Lent, even on
Sundays.
2, The use OF butter, cheese, milk and
eggs is also permitted every day in Lent.
3. It is allowed to take in the morning
some warm liquid, as tea coffee or thin
chocolate, made with water, and with
this liquid mouthful of bread
4. Those for whom the hour of noon
may be an inconvenient time for dinner,
may invert the order and take their col
lation in the morning, and their dinner
in the evening.
3, The use Of hogs lard, or dripping,
instead of butter. is authorized in pre-
pairing permitted food.
9. Persons exempt from the obliga-
tions of fasting are free to take meat
more than once on those days when It's
use is granted by dispensation.
BY virtue Of an Indult granted to US
by the Holy Sea, March 10Th, 1895, We
permit to all working men and their
families the use of flesh meat once q day
on all fast days and abstinence days
throughout the year, with the exception
Of Fridays, Ash Wednesday, the Wed.
nesday and Saturday of Holy Week and
the eve Of Christmas.
Those who are exempt from the obi.
CATION Of fasting are free TO take meat
more than once on the days mentioned.
Those who avail themselves Of this
IDdult are not allowed TO use flesh meat
and fish at the same meal, and they are
earnestly exhorted to perform some other
act of modification, such as abstinence
from intoxicating liquors.
The Paschal time extends from the
first Sunday OF Lent till Trinity Sunday
during which time all Catholics who
have attained the proper age are bound TO
receive worthily the Holy Communion,
The Holy season of Lent is very prop
or time also for children TO make their
FIRST confession, which they ought TO do
generally about the age OF seven years.
Parents should see to this.
