Hotel Inspection Measure.

Travelling men of Kentucky will
make a fight before the session of the
general assembly for a hotel inspec-
ton bill, requiring hotels to observe
rules regarding the comfort and health
of their guests, as to change of bed
clothing, length of sheets, condition
of towels, etc. This law is most urg-

Tarrytown, and when his head was
hidden by a great coat he looked the
role. But he did not deceive one o.
the town constables. The latter gave
chase. Bailey was thrown from hi:

States Death Rate Lower.

Mortality statistics just made public
by the census bureau show that Ken
tucky's death rate decreased two
tenths of 1 per cent from 1911 to 1912
The bureau notes the fact that the
state has a large number of colored
inhabitants, to whom is ascribed the
high death rate. Kentucky's rates
were: 1911, 1874; 1912, 1872. Nine
states in the resignation area have
larger death rates than that of Ken
lucky, among them Maryland, Penn
sylvania, New York and Rhode Ia

SOME BIG AVERAGES ARE
MADE.

The widest enthusiasm prevailed on
the breaks of the Peoples Tobacco
Warehouse this morning during the
progress of the big sale. Every avail
able space was occupied by enthusiastic
sellers and enthusiasm prevailed as
never before. Hundreds of tobacco
growers from the five surrounding
counties were on the floors and they
went away in high spirits over the
splendid prices thatwere realized. The
tobacco market has opened in earnest
in Danville and the Peoples House is
the scene of high prices and satisfied
sellers. Below are given some of the
grand averages that were received over
the breaks at the Peoples Tobacco
Warehouse:

EW YORK, Jan. 1O.-SOme men
are kind enough to volunteer the
\ Information that baseball to-
day is not what is used to be; not what
it was 20 or 80 years ago. There were
more real stars in those days, they viii
say, and will go on to name famous
players from BrOuthers all the way
back to Chadwick
The contention is not so much that
the crack performers then We're any
better than those Of the present dia-
mond generation but that stars abound
ed in greater numbers.
There never viii be any way to set
tie such a question as that. But this
much can be said-the fan of today
need not be ashamed of his idols when
regarded in the light of a temporal
comparison Of either quality or guam
tity. In the last ten years, for in
stance, enough first calibre stars have
trOd the diamond to form material for
an all star team that ought to be able
to hold its own against one picked
from the players of any other decade
and one that perhaps might be able
to thrash the hide off the old timers,
could they be brought back to Their
prime.
Consider the InfieIders.
Frank Chance, Hal Chase and Jake
Daubert loom up as the best first base
men of the decade. If Cap Arson, Dan
BrOuthers or any of the other ancients
had anything on this trio it IS hard
to believe. Eddie Collins, Johnny Evers
and Nap LajOie are about as good as
second basemen as can be. Hans Wag-

fortunately, the time of day prevented
many of the foreigners interested
from attending the game YalTs cheer

melee which burst forth at the end of
the game was shaped into a snake
