DAVID B. HILL
Is Expected to Sound the Democratic
 Keynote,

Keynote.
 Albany special to The New York Times. David Bennett Hill has accepted an in-
 vitation from the Democratic Editorial Association to deliver an address at the associatiOn's banquet given In this city April l3, the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson. In his address on this occasion his is expected to sound the key note of the National and State campaigns.
 The date chosen for MT. Hilfs import ant utterance is most suspicious one from the Democratic point of view. Ac- cording to the present program of the Republican leaders the session of the Legislature Is to be brought to a close on April 10. The work of the session, there fore, will practically have been completed and the Democratic leaders think that Mir. Hill will have a fine opportunity to contrast the economy of Jefferson with the alleged extravaganza of the Republi- can State administration
 As to the recent allusions which MT. Bryan has made to him and his possible candidacy for the Presidency. MT. Hill has maintained strict silence. It Is be- lieved that in his speech to the Democrat ic editors he will not only outline what he thinks the Democratic policy should be in the Nation and State. but will define his own position with regard to the nomi- nation for the Presidency in such a way as will make it clear to the Democrats of the State whether he is desirous of their support or favors sending a delgation pledged to Judge Alton E. Parker.
 Mir. HID mas not been discouraged in the least by the failure of the campagn which he conducted for MT. Coler for Governor. On the contrary he thinks that the re- duction of the Republican majority to less than 1000 offers much of encouragement to the Democrats of the State and the country in 1904. He firmly believes that with the right candidate and an aggress- i've campaign on a same platform MT Roosevelt can be defeated in New York
 MT. Hills campaign headquarters in Albany were not closed at the end of the State campaign. As much work is being done there just now almost as when the campaign was at it's height. The Demo- cratic editors of the State are being fur nished with good Democratic material and being urged to make the most of 1t. Mir Hlll may be said to be courting the editors He has put several of them on the State Committee and he advises with all of them. That he is high in favor with them is shown by the fact that he has been asked to be the orator of the occasion at their annual banquet.

BANQUET TO FRANCIS
PREsrnENr OF ST. LOUIS FAIR GUEST OF HONOR.
Tells of His Recent Trip to Europe. Says American Methods are Superior in Many Lines
 of Industry.

New York, March 19.-Former Governor David R. Francis of Missouri, President of the St. Louis Exposition, was the guest of honor at a banquet given tonight at the waldorf-Astoria by the Missouri Scoety of New York. Augustus Thomas President of the Missouri Society, presid. ed. Among those who occupied seats a the guests table were President Francis. Lewis Nixon. Augustus Van Wyck, c. H Spencer, Melville E. Stone Ferdinand w. Peck and Supreme Court Justice O'Gor- man. A large delegation of St. Louis merchants were present to welcome the distinguished travellers.
 President Thomas and Lieutenant Gov ernor Lee of Missouri welcomed Mir. Francis in brief speeches After reviewing his European tour, MT. Francis spoke in part as follows:
 "One of the most progressive rulers of the world told me rot only without hesi- tation but with evident pride, that there were many lines in which American meth. ods were superior to all others and thai their industries did not hesitate to initiate us. The belief in the Divine right of kings has ceased to be the foundation of monarchical insti- tutions. The thrones of the leading king doms and empires are no longer based upon the ignorance of their subjects but are hedged about by the ability and the governing power to promote the interests of those whose trust they hold.
 1.-The universal exposition which Is be- ing planned by the people of St. Louis under the patronage of the Federal gov ernment is not a commercial enterprise, nor have it's projectors ever felt that the community and municipality which have provided ten millions of dollars for its Inauguration would ever realize in re- turns a respectable per centage or any thing at all on their liberal outlay. This conviction is also entertained by the Fed eral government and by the States of the Union who have so generously come to the support of the enterprise
 Among other speakers were Melville E. Stone. Ferd w. Peck. Lewis Nixon and Patrick Calhoun of St. Louis

AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.
So Thinks At Least One Travelling
 Man.

I would as soon think of starting out with out my mileage books and grip as to start out on trip without a box of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets in my Valise said travelling man who represents a St. Louis hardware house. Why? Because I have to put up at all kinds of hotels and boarding houses. I have to eat good. bad and indifferent food at all hours of the day and night and l don't believe any nan's stomach will stand that sort of thing without protest, anyway l know mine won't. It has to have something to break the fall and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the crutch I fall back on.
 My friends often josh me about 1t. tell me I'm an easy mark for patent medi- cine fakers that advertised medicines are humbugs, etc, but 1 notice that they are nearly always complaining of their aches and pains and poor digestion while can stand most any old kind of fare and feel good and ready for my work when it needs me, and I believe I owe my good digestion and sound health to the daily. regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. year in and year out, and all the Josh ing" in the world will never convince me to the contrary.
 l used to have heartburn about three times a day and headache about three or four times d week and after standing for this for four or five years l began to look around for q crutch and found it when my doctor told me the best invest ment I could make would be fifty cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and I have invested about fifty cents a month for them eyer since and when l stop to think that that Is what l spend every day for cigars, I feel like shaking hands with myself for I can keep my stomach and digestion in first class order for fifty cents a month. l don't care for any better life insurance.
 My druggist tells me they are the most popular of all stomach medicines and that they have maintained their popularity and success because they do as advertised. They bring results. and results are what count in patent medicine as much as in selling barbwira- su-wed-fr1.
