Perhaps in the years that have

respect and love as mother. Dear,
that is as it should be, but just let

they called. as a tribute to the illus

sion into the Union; but. the federal
government being slow and unwilling
to act and North Carolina having re-
pealed the act of cession of her west
ern province to the Union, the state OF
Franklin came into very troubled wa
ters for some years.
Some efforts were made to persuade
the Kentuckians to join themselves to
the state of Franklin. Il provision hav-
ing been made for such cooperation in
the constitution of the experiment, but
they came to nothing. The new state
gradually fell to pieces. and in 1877 its
brilliant and able governor, John Sc
vier, was put on trial for high treason.
He was released by a daring rescue
and subsequently pardoned and restor-
ed in name to the leadership, which he
never lost in the affections of his peo-
pie. In 1877 the last legislature of the
state of Franklin held it's session at
Greenville. e.-Philadelphia Press.

PICKING A PICKPOCKET.
Rules That Guide Chicago Detectives
In Spotting Their Man.

How to tell pickpOcket when you
see one-the feat is apparently not
difficult, for ali applicants who take
the civil service examination to be-
come Chicago detectives are required
to have mastered it.
''What are the physical characteris-
tics of pickpockets?" the would be
thief catchers are asked.
And this is the answer they are ex-
pected to give:
"PickpOckets ordinarily travel in
mobs and are of two distinct types
one small or medium stature, the other
tall and muscular. As general rule
the age runs from eighteen to thirty
five. Their hands are soft. show no
signs of work, and the fingers of all
except the stall and particularly the
fingers of the wire are long and Slen-
der. Their eyes are shifting and fur
tive. Their complexion is generally
sallOw and without distinct color, this
being due either to prison pallor in
types or to the use Of cocaine or other
drugs. The cocaine users show drawn
features and prominent cheek bones
and usually have distinct rings around
the eyes.
''The temperament of pickpockets is
high strung because Of the dangers of
the profession or from the use of
drugs. At the same time they are po
lite almost to the point Of obsequious-
ness. They seldom carry weapons and
rarely resort to force. On duty they
dress to suit the occasion, generally
well, but not conspicuously. They
avoid wearing anything that might
lead to Identification" - Baltimore

Peace Party Hard Pressed by War
AdVocates-Quiet In Greece.
London, March 10.-The affairs in
Greece apparently upon the mend, the
situation in Bulgaria now engages
the attention of the allied diplomats.
Dispatches received here say that
Premier Radoslavoff, the prime min
lister, has been overthrown through
the influence of King Ferdinand be-
cause he favored a dec. c.aration of war
against Turkey and the capture of
Adrianople.
In Greece Demetrios Ghounarisi,
senator from POtras, who was select
ed by King Constantine to form a
cabinet when M. Zaimis, governor of
the national bank, declined the task,
Is now trying to arrange a ministry.
1t Is reported the situation is likely
to become threatening again at any
moment.
The king is in control of affairs for
the present, but the party of M. Vent
Zelos, the former premier, are by no
means satisfied with policy of non
Intervention and may Insist upon war.
In order to prevent the chamber o.
deputies from overturning the new
cabinet King Constantine prorogue'
the chamber for one month.
The downfall of the Bulgarian pre-
Dr. was unexpected, but the COM
bined influence of the king and DR..

Sir Robert Borden, premier of Can
