minutes were spent in being photo
graphed, and the serious work was on.
William Martin, James Mulligan and
Frederick Meldrum, the committee in
charge of the outing, had planned it
with such care and We're so energetic
in the direction of affairs hat the day
went with a swing from the beginning.
The most serious. casualty of the day
occurred in the seventh inning of "a
holly contested game of ball between
two picked teams of the association,
when Martin knocked the bali over
third so far out into the bay tina no
one would volunteer to go after it.
BY the time the gentle rain began to
descend in the afternoon the big party
was in such jovial spirits thai they
hardly noticed it at all. Dinner was
served at 4 o'clock, and the holiday
crowd. unanimous in the oft-assertel
opinion that they had never had a
better time in their life," reached the
Market street station shortly after 8

yesterday afternoon, in the presence of
several thousand persons, laid the cor

Roughly speaking, there are eight hundred thousand retail stores
in the United States Eight hundred thousand stores, each dominated
and animated by its own unit of life, osensibly trying to arrive at
success through service. If any one of them towers over its fellows it
is Macy's. Measured by years, it laps over the half century mark;

BY few. if any; weighed by volume of sales comprised, it justifes its

Stiffest PrOhibitOry Law to Date.

new law in Kansas ordains the
most rigid kind of prohibition. Under
the regime now in force no alcoholic
liquors can be sold in that state for
any purpose. The old law gave drug
gists the right to sell liquor for me
dicinal, mechanical and scientific pur-
poses" but now druggists may not
handle or sell liquor, even upon a
physicians prescription. The sale of
alcohol is absolutely forbidden and
the dis play of alcohol or liquor on
the shelves of a drug store is regard
ed as prima facie evidence that it is
being kept for unlawful sale, and the
druggist is subject to arrest.
Under the new law, also, the attor-
ney general is to start crusade
against the social clubs of the state.
He has ruled that no man can even
drink liquor in clubhouse. Most of
the clubs maintain locker systems,
but these are put under the ban by
the attorney general.
Many towns. following the advice
Of the attorney general. are limiting
the amount of beer that a man can
have shipped to his home from an
outside state. Wichita has fixed the
limit at one case a week, Topeka at
'one case for every two weeks, while
Leavenworth permits two cases a
week.
All this is long remove from the
old prohibition days in Kansas, which
the late Senator John ]. ingalls, once
described as prohibition for the pro-
'hibitionist and whisky for the whis-
ky drinker." The thou shalt not"
policy is made ironclad rigidity and
the old personal liberty" doctrine is
buried deep under the new law
