This morning a tramp walked into a
well known business mans Office on
Market street, and with pencil and
pad, soon informed the man of money
that he was deaf and dumb, and would
like TO have just enough with which to
get something to eat. The business
man had heard of fakirs, so he thought
he would try the alleged dumb man,

A SEVEN DOLLAR HOUSE.

Miss Eugenia Florence, under the
management of Mr.. Geo. A. Hender-
son, who have been playing at the
New Opera House for the past three
nights, took sudden departure on No.
10, at 5 o'clock this morning over the
B. G. 0. East. The first night the COM
pany played to good house, but the
fact leaked out that it was an amateur
company just starting out from Pitts
burg, and the jig was up. The com
pany was very poor, and the second
night they met with no success at all.
Last night they had a seven dollar
house, which, of course, was no en-
couragement to them whatever. So
they at once resolved to take sudden
departure, and left early this morning
The manager of the house, Mr.. E. c..
Darrow, who sometime ago leased the
property from Capt. John Teller, also
took his departure with them. He
turned the keys over to his stage man
ager. Mr.. VIM. Clements, who gave
them over to Mr.. Teller this morning.
This sudden turn up has been no sur
prise, as the general impression was
that barrow was getting considerably
behind. The WORLD attempted this
morning to recover some of its just
dues, but investigation resulted in
finding that he had disposed all his
personal effects. Mr. Feller was
caught for months rent of $4,000
but expects to realize small portion
from some few articles in his posses
sion. The Company after consider
able scraping managed to pay their
board bill. They were billed to play
here again tonight, but the crowd of
theatregoing people, who helped to
make up the seven dollar house last
night, will have to console themselves
with the fact that " the birds have
flown"

COWED BY A BOWIE-KNIFE.
How Officer Conboy Caught a
Thief.
The Robber of Hammersmith & Fields Jew
drugstore Arrested With Stolen Rings
in HIS Possession.

Policeman Conboy was the proudest man
on the force yesterday, and he did not
mind showing 1t.
He had captured burglar on his beat, a
very daring burglar at that The capture
was very important one, and will obtain
for ConbOy a weeks vacation.
The falling Of the man was very crafty
ing to the police, and more so to The man
whose store was robbed, as most of his
property has been recovered.
The man captured was no other than the
bold burglar who a few nights ago broke
the plate-glass window of Hammersmith &
Field, jewelers.. on Suffer street, near Mont
gomery, and carried off about $500 worth Of
stock.
All the officers on the force were fur
nished with the description of the burglar
and Instructed TO be on the lookout Tor him.
While on his beat near the plaza early
yesterday morning Officer Conboy's eagle
eye saw man who answered to the de-
scriptiOn exactly.
As soon as Conboy saw the man he laid
hands on him and placed him under arrest.
The man resisted and desperate fight
took place between the officer and his pris-
oner, who kept placing his right hand be-
hind him as ii trying to draw a revolver.
Conboy was compelled to draw large
bowe-knife in order to intimidate the prs-
ouer, who finally surrendered. He gave
the name of Peter Hayes and said he came
recently from Chicago.
When searched at the prison thirty of the
rings stolen from Hammersmith IL Field
were found on him.
He made an open confession and stated
where he had pawned or sold most of the
100 rings stolen. He had sold some of them
to saloOn-keepers.
The police Will recover most OF the stolen
articles

1.-THE Ideal Campaign Speech"
That is timely subject and good one,
too.
THE CALL has asked several prominent
gentlemen to tell what they think is the
best sort of political speech. and some of
them reply below.
liza dozen ideal speeches result from the
answers during the present campaign THE
CALL Will feel that it has accomplished
much good.

bread?'
The young campaign orator begins with

What pity we cannot have speech
makers Ollendorff that will teach orators,
young and old. how TO interest ana en-
tighten their hearers.
What man of intelligence can be enter
taned or enlightened by the average cam
pagn speech?
Is it not matter of fact that most of
these speeches are convincing only to small
minds?
Sad to say it is.
George Eliot must have had the campaign
speech in mind when she wrote in her
Legend of Juhai":
The hollow vessels clang-
The clash the BOOM
Now why should tile hollow vessel" be
allowed to mount the public platform?
Why not have speakers who can tell Us
something?
The campaign is upon us, and through
the length and breadth of the land these
hollow vessels are getting ready to parade
their emptiness.
Can we head them off?
Hardly. But we can have men who "know
things" give them some good advice.
And here it is.

"sTUDY UP YOUR SUBJECT"

James A. Waymire Does Not Believe IN
CareIessly Prepared Speeches.
There is certainly room for improvement
in the manner and matter Of the average
campaign speech.
The manner Of a speech is so intimately
connected with the personnel Of the speaker
that it is hard to make any useful sugges-
tons on the subject.
One thing is certain. No man who Is in
active business-and our best speakers are
can make good speech without previous
preparation.
The man who neglects this duty-unless
he has recently served in Congress. where
his daily life has been a constant training
will dsappOlnt himself and his audience.
BY preparation. of course, l mean the
study OF the subject upon which he intends
to speak and the arrangement OF his mate
rial into proper subdivisions. Some speakers
write their speeches in full and read them.
using the same speech throughout the cam
paigD, devating from the manuscript in
different localities TO touch upon local topics
of interest. This was the way the late
Governor Booth and John f. Swift did.
Others, and | think the great majority,
study their subjects, get the 0ints well In
hand and depend for words upon the mo-
ment of delivery.
Such speeches would not read so we'll but
are usually more effective with an audience,
because the speaker is able to put more

CrIttenden Thornton Says Il Is One of
the Highest Faculties of Genius.
My opinion is requested upon 1.-The Ideal
Campaign Speech" 1t is suggested that
such speeches might be made short, sharp
and ineisive."
There have been great speeches of that
description: DIR. Johnson's condemnation

Thurlow's reply to the Duke of Grafton.

motion to adjourn to the tennis court. In

the balcony of the Grand Hotel in this city,

Bakers Grafton over the dead body OF

as campaign speech. Yet IL was no more

The ability to condense Is one OF the high

Again, condensation is the greatest ele-
