KENTUCKY SOCIETY GREETS
FRANCIS AT A SMOKER.
World's Fair President Relates Incl.
dents of His European Trip at
an Informal Gathering.

One hundred sons of old Kentucky greet
ed President David r. Francis of the
Worlds Fair at an Informal dinner and
smoker, given by the Kentucky Society of
st. Louis at the St. Nicholas Hotel last
night.
Mr.. Francis recounted IN an interesting
manner the events of his trip from the time
OF his leaving st. Louis until he reached
New York on his return. His narrative
was more like the telling of story among
Intimate friends than an after-dinner
speech. 1t was filed with references TO
persons and things familiar to many of his
hearers.
In particular Mr.. Francis dwelt on the
great Difference with which Americans of
prominence appear to be treated by high
officials of foreign Governments. The ten
dency is to leave nothing undone to pro-
mote good feeling with this country. The
cordially with which he was received leads
him to believe that they will have creditable
displays here In 1894.
Judge William c. Jones, president of the
society, presided. Later he resigned the
chair to r. II. Kern. who acted as toast
master MIR. Kern introduced Mr.. Francis
in a clever speech.
Several members were called upon for.
promptu talks. Among those responding
were r. l.. Gordon Manton Davis. Glen Ar
mold. Daviess Pittman. Given Campbell, j.
Y. Brown and Sim T. Price.
