CONDITION SERIOUS.
Rev. F.. Paterson Returns From ST.

vincent's Hospital in Worcester.
Clinton, Sept 29.-It was news to ev-
erybody when it was known today that
Rev. Richard ]. Paterson had been
brought back from st. Vincent's hospi-
tai to be cared for in his residence as
before.
He returned last night, accompanied
by Rev. FIR McCaughan and skilled
attendance. His health has not i'm
proved, but it was thought better for
him to be in Clinton again. In the
last few days he has taken to worrying
about affairs in the parish.
The Spy man called upon Rev. w. C.
McCaughan this afternoon, and asked
after Fir Paterson's health. FIR. Nc
Caughan confirmed the report as it has
been given.
1t is pretty well understood tonight
that there is little hope that FIR Pa
terson will ever be recovered enough
to resume charge of the parish. His
advanced age is against him. He has
the constant attendance of a trained
nurse

POPULISTS WAITING FOR
THE OTHER PARTIES
Cannot Set Time for Holding Their
National Convention at
Present
TERRE HAUTE. Ind. July 6.-Mol

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. July 6.-Morti-
mer c. Rankin, chairman of the Populist
National Central Committee, was inter-
viewed this afternoon in regard to
whether the Populists would form fusion
with the Democrats for the coming cam
paign Mr.. Rankin said they would not
for the reason that the Populists will
hold their national convention one month
prior to either the Republican or Demo-
cratic conventions. For this reason the
Populists will prepare their own platform
and nominate their own candidates. The
time for the national Populist conven-
ton is not determined yet, and cannot
be determined until one of the big po-
litical parties names the date for its con-
vention.
Mr.. Rankin stated that the party was
split up in its views, but it was hoped
that every one would be brought to one
course before the convention met
The Populists of Nebraska, Mr.. Rankin
said, were in favor of fusion, should they
be allowed to name the nominee for Vice
President of the Democratic ticket. While
this might be allowed In Nebraska, the
other States will by no means submit to
such an action. The Populists are tired
of fusion, for they have found that when
ever they entered into a fusion with the
Democrats the latter party received the
benefit while the Populists were there
merely TO fill up.
