far as this feature Is concerned a
new record will be set this season.
The manager of one of the stores
expressed his qualification at the
manner in which the public has re-
sponded this year to the appeal In be-
half Of clerks and delivery boys.
While the merchants rejoice over
the thoughtfulness OF the public, the
girls behind the counters are the
ones who have the greatest reason
to feel gratitude. That the rush has
been spread over the last two weeks
instead OF being concentrated in the
last few days before Christmas has
meant much TO them. They have had
time TO give their attention to indi-
vidual ccustomers. to make larger
sales and boost their commissions.
The ten-hour law also has helped
them in many instances.

Evidence in the case Of George Re-
gas, charged with conducting a gam
ing table in his pool room at No.
900 Market street. was heard in City
Court this morning, and the case was
continued until New Years Day by

The case hinges upon the question
of whether the game Of dead" or
crazy" pool is a game Of chance or
skill as played on a pool table in
Regas' place on last Thursday by
Clayton Draper. Harry Hammer and
Robert IT, Riley. The evidence was
to the effect that on the first scat
tering of the pool balls the game was
one of chance, but that after that Il
was a game Of skill. Judge Church
man continued the case to deter
mine whether a game in which are
elements OF both chance and skill
comes under the statute prohibiting
games of chance.
II was brought out that Regas
had been arrested on complaint or
Walter Johnson, who had been asked
10 leave the pool room by Detective
Witsil because Rcgas would not al
low him to remain there after he had
created a disturbance IN the place
several times. Johnson admitted this
on the stand, and told the court that
this was one OF the reasons why he
had Regas arrested. lie described
the game OF pool that the men we're
playing as dead pool and said that

The Impeachment Process.

The vote of the general assembly OF
New York against Gov. Sulzer, which
will result in the presentation of articles
of impeachment to the Senate of that
state and his trial on the charges, means
that case already sensational will be-
come more sensational when the Senate
and the court of appeals, sitting Jointly
hear the evidence. Only a two-thirds
affirmative vote will convict Mr.. Sulzer
While the evidence which has been
brought against the Governor seems
damaging public opinion may well be
suspended until the case is finally dis
posed of. Everybody assumes that if
Mr.. Sulzer had handed out patronage
freely to Tammany Hall these proceed
ings never woild have been instituted.
1t is in revenge that the impeachment
process is invoked. 1t is fair to say,
however, that if Mr.. Sulzer has done
anything unlawful, he should be re-
moved.
Impeachments are rare. Usually the
process is invoked in cases involving iu-
dieial conduct, but it is worthy of note
that at least seven governors have faced
impeachment charges, only two of them,
however, being removed from Office as a
result of the charges. These cases arose
in the period of ls62-ls76 and were
confined to the South and to two north
ern states of Kansas and Nebraska.
Most all the impeachments were re-
suit of differences during the reconstruc-
ton period.
Impeachment is an ancient process. 1t
in the frame of government of
Pennsylvania in 1852. 1t was incorpor-
ated in the constitution of New York in
l777 and has since been retained in a
revised form. Some states, notably Al
ALBANIA, Texas. Nebraska, and Oregon, try
cases, which otherwise would be fit for
in their ordinary courts of
justice, saving a good deal of red tape

U. S. MANUFACTURE
EXPORTS GAIN
In Ten Years They Increased 1s3 Per
Cent, According to Report of the
Department of Commerce.

Washington, D. c., Aug. l5.-That
manufactures are now the chief feature
in the growth of the export trade of
the United States is shown by some fig
ures just compiled by the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce, department
of commerce. They show, for the ten
years ending with 1913, an increase of
l53 per cent. in the export of manufac-
lures Exclusive of foodstutfsl, and of
"a per cent in all other articles exported.
The actual increase in the ten-year Pc
Rod, measured by dollars, is, manufac-
lures, s7l9,000,000; all other articles,
$3l7 100000. Manufactures formed $50
per cent. of the exports OF 1913 and 1876
per cent. of those of 1908. If food
stuffs, wholly or partly manufactured,
are included in the general group. MAN
ufactures," the percentage of increase
in 1918 compared with 1908 would be,
manufactures, 81 per cent; all other
merchandise, SO per cent; and the actual
increase, manufactures, $7l6,000000; all
other. S320,000,000.
Manufactures made their best export
record in the fiscal year 1913 They
show not only larger total than ever
before and a larger increase than in any
percentage Of the total exports than on
preceding year, but also formed larger
any previous occasion. The total ex-
ports of the two great groups, Manu-
features ready for consumption" and
Manufactures for further use in manu-
featuring" amounted to 81, 1857 100000,
against 81 .020.000.000 in 1912, S767 000,-

600, 900 in 1900, Sl79,000,0O0 in 1890, and
Sl22, 100000 in 1880. The increase in
1918 over the Immediately preceding year.
was Sl87 100000 against Sl4l 100000 in
1911, the largest gain in any earlier year.
The share which these two groups OF
manufactures, when combined, formed of
the total exports, was larger in 1913 than
ever before, being $50 per cent. of the
total against 44.9 per cent. in 1910, AL
per cent. in 1905, IS per cent. in 1900,
81 per cent. in 1890, and Is per cent.
in 1850. The group, "Foodstuffs partly
or wholly manufactured" shows a slight
decline during the decade, the value of
this group being S323,000,000 in 1908
and S320,000000 in 1913
Finished manufactures and those for
further use in manufacturing share in
the gam OF 1910, as wen as ~ edthei

Gated at Montreal Following is an ex-
tract from his burlesque:
"When the curtain rises it discloses a
French maid moving about the stage in
four dollar silk stockings. She is set
ting things on a little table, evidently
for supper. She explains this in French
as she does it, so as to make it clear.
"'Bon! la seryiette de monsieur bon!

payne, bon langouste aux champignons,
ben, bonl' This is all the French
she knows, poor little thing, but Ian.

dience, so she is all right.
"As the maid moves about there is
loud knock at the cardboard door of
the apartment. man in official clothes
sticks his head in. He is evidently a

all in postal attire with a postal glazed
hat
