   A Philadelphia policeman the other day received a letter informing him that a "speak easy," by which term an unlicensed saloon is designated, was in operation near Franklin and Spring Garden streets. His detective instinct was at once aroused, and he made an investigation, Only to discover that he was the victim of some practical joker. The place referred to proved to be an Episcopal Church for the deaf.----New York Tribune
