A few days ago, 16-year-old Frank Hay don, of 27.19 North Orkney street, unokcd n clgnrotte. Frank's youngest brother, Colrnmn, 11 years old, saw him and, knowing hli brother was forbidden to smoke, told their father, James Hnydcn. Frank wus rebuked. This, the police be lieve, Is why Frank Joined Alfred Vcr beckon, 1G yenrs old, of ICOI North Fiont street, nn habitual runaway, and hoppeo a freight car to Heading last night. Both boys were found ln the car, this morn Hit?, by tho Rending police, hungry, tired and half-frozen. Tho police of tho 4lh and York streets stnllon hnvc notified tho parents that the boys hnve been found. They will be brought back to this city. Mrs. Cnrlotto Verbecken, Alfred's mother, was not surprised when sho heard about her son's exploit. "This Is an old trick of Alfred's," she Bald, "and I'm through with him this time. Ho has a Job. but he wastes nil the monev he earns. His slBtcrs work hard In the mills to help me keep the house going. He didn't bring homo his en velope Snturday night, and asked me for money yesterday moinlng. That Is the kind of gratitude he shows. He'll go to the Houso of Detention this time, It I know II. "Ills last uinawny exploit was to Balti more. He enmc back and got down on Ills knees before mo and swoto he'd never do It again. After that time 1 never saw a hoy eat so much. He must have drunk a half bucket of water. And then ho went to bed and slept for a day and n half. I thought he was cured then, but 1 guess I was wrong." Mrs. Verbecken Is getting a divorce from her husband, Felix, who Is now liv ing In Hanover, Pa. Hanover is nenr Beading, and It Is believed Alfied may have tried to Join his father.

Mad, melodious Lucy Ashton warbled her coloratura sentiments and efflorescent woes last night nt the Qarrlck, where daetano Donizetti's opera, drawn from Scott's "Bride of Lnmmcrinoor." took Its tragic course ns the second offering In the San Carlo Company's repertory week of tho good old lyilc stiuulbys. It hns been Hovornl seasons since the paranoiac duet with the flute has been heard south of Market street In tho once sacred terrnln of grand npern: and It Is not carping to say that Its tricksy trills and exfoliated emotions Inched the fncllo skill and crystalline quality, uth which they were delivered by Scmbrlcli at her farewell In tho time-honored Academy nnd the corus cating brllllntiC!, In the upper range con ferred on the mere notes by Tetrazzlnl on the inemorabln spring afternoon In 1007 when Oscar Hammcrstcln, tho stormy petrel of grand opera, fetched his troupe DO miles n cross Jersey to show Philadel phia opera that was opera (as he raid) and there to lay the foundation for n per manent opera. Justice, however, requires tho state ment that Edvlgo Vaccarl and the flautist got nlong very well Indeed In pitch and rhythm, nnd If the florid soprano of tho traveling company lacked tho supremo qualities of her predecessors here In tho rolo of Lucia, sho illsplajed a vocal freshness unknown to Scmbrlcli In her post-meridional period nnd no whit of tho distressing Infantile tones of Tctra zzlnl's lower register. And even If An gclo Antoln ns Enrico failed to extinguish memories of Polcse and Salvatoro Scla tcttl, those of Zcnntello, not to mention notables of Abbey, Oraii and Conrcld days at the Academy, theso singers did rise superior, vocally and histrionically, to others endured In In those Belf-samo "golden days," revered by the older gen eration (for the past were always hal cyon days, If the veteran Is to be cred ited). .Miss Vnccarl, comely of face, buxom of figure and humettc of complexion, hardly attained the visual reality or a, Highland heiolne, and her uctlng was a matter of very elementary drill; but she sang In a voice both sweet and strong, albeit not nn evocative voice that colored the tone duly and emotionally In the lovo scenes or In the mad scene, dextrous nnd easy as her singing was there from the technical standpoint. Mr. Antola projected somo action Into Enrico's role, and sang In n baritone of moderate compass nnd suav Ry, while Mr. Sciarcttl proved a ro bustious tenor, with a clangorous quality to his vocallsm thut betltted the big en sembles, hut that was not Invariably agreeable In other passages. Vet, all la all, the performance gave pleasure to ,i fair-sized and very en thusiastic audience, extremely free with Its cries of "bravo" nnd its calls of "bis"; for the company sang lit a forthright fashion and hcurty, sang Its Donizetti "straight," without attempts at romance or realism, but ns Itnllnnnte opera, with all Its vocal and Instrumental gauds and graces, which would have mightily astounded the good Sir Walter to hear; it was minus nny pretense of drama, of any Intents to evoke illusions or stir the Imagination; but It possessed In full meas ure all the approved conventions of tho operatic craft as practiced at Flcsole, Lucca or any other provincial house the aria directed from footlights to audience regardless of relativity to plot or action; the how giaclously acknowledging an- phiuse, though tho recipient must step out oi me sinfrc pictuie to do so; the vlbiato to express feellnc, and tho display of teeth to denote an overplus of joy. The chorus sang; well In tune nnd time. More anhnntlon would not have been un pleaslns but, Italian chorus-wise. Its members preserved their calm, not to say stolid, mien throughout; even when the ancient Chaplain rushed In with a "bent" on Lucy's murder of her spouse, a passage which hns musical and dra matic punj.i, tho chorus persisted In Its clover Imitation of cigar store Indluns The staging was not well done and tho chorus waidrobo showed nn tinclannish diversity of tartans ns well as a shortage of sporrans. Tho orchestra, under Giuseppe Angellul, was amply prollclcnt for tho Donizcttlnn tunes; the harpist nnd flautist wero particularly good. This, then. Is a review of "Lucia" that Ignores the Justly celebrated sextet. They did It. six of them count 'em, six In robust linglng fashion. In fact, twice. BOY SAVED BY MOTHER'S PLEA A dramatic plea made by his mother today saved 17-ycar-old Adolph Shuester, of 2031 North Falrhlll street, from going to Jail. The boy was arrested on a war rant sworn out by hla mother, charged with robbing her cigar store, just n she was about to sell out. Ills desire to go to theatres and Indulge in the fads of older boys, tho police say, actuated the robbery. He was unaware that he was even suspected, and was arrested today Just as he left his home. Touched by tho mother's Intercession, Magistrate I'en noek agreed to glvo him another chance.

LUKE WARM DIDN'T GLOUCESTER JUNGLE DEADLINE FOR HOBOES ON JERSEY JOURNEYS Those Who Cross It Do So Under Pain of Hard La bor at Water Works, by the Stern Edict of Mayor Anderson. Town Now One of the Most American of A in ericun Cities, Willi No Foreign Population to Speak of. Tramps Go Elsewhere. Tho Gloucester Jungle lies Just north ot tho town In n little hollow screened by tho stalks nf dead weeds mid underbrush, within easy reach of tho slovniovlng freights, and accessible also, for those who know tho path, lo tho highway lend ing Into tho town. It Is a good jungle, as Jungles go, but tho trouble Is It Is known to tho Gloucester "bulls," who have made It tho hobo dead lino of South Jersey. Uelow thnt dead lino no son of rest may venttiro under pain of manual labor at tho water works. Tho edict of Glou cester's Mayor has gono forth. It has been blazoned to tho curious little world of tramps by the cabalistic cade of chalk ninrks on water tanks and fences leading Into tho town, nnd Gloucester Is virtually trntnplcss. Today tho regular employes at tho water works had to push wheelbarrows laden with coal for tho engines. Tho labor was Irksome, because for tho Inst mouth tbey have been getting assistance from tho sons of rest. At the outset they had tho pick of 30 men. Today there wero six men In tho Gloucester Jail at dawn, and only four of them wero phys ically able to wheel coal for their brcn lt fasts. Gloucester, tho one-time Mecca of racing men and other gamblers, boasts today that It Is one of tho most Amer ican of American cities. It has no for eign population, and Its problem ot tho unemployed Is not big enough to baffle solution. Gloucester boasts that It Is a nice, quiet residential town, where house holders are not bothered by sons of the open road seeking a "hand-out" at the back door. THE INFAMY OF GLOUCESTGIt. To hoboes thioughout tho East today tho mtmo of Gloucester Is uuathema. Its fame or Its Infamy, from the vluivpotnt of the tramp has spread along tho cntlic Atlantic seaboard. In tho Jungles and the box cars, ln tho free flop houses and on tho head end of the limited, tho story of what Gloucester has done Is spreading all over the country by word of mouth. Even tho regulars aro disappearing, ac cording to the police. The bluecoats tell of lt with voices In which there Is a trace of mournfulness, for the talcs of these tramps who had been coming back year after year were Interesting, full of tho flavor of tho open road stretching Into tho everywhere, full of tho lure of the wanderlust. Now that they are not com ing back, tho Gloucester "cops" aro miss ing them. David M. Anderson Is Mayor of Gloucester. Ho decided four weeks ago that there were too many tramps In tho town. Thltty-slx of them happened to bo In the C0-year-okl dungcou-Uko colls of tho Gloucester Jail at the time, getting a free flop, so, perhaps, ho had leason fur his decision. At any rate, lie made tho Juuglo the deadline, and ordered the pollco to put all tramps who ventured be low It to work at the water works. It should bo written In fairness to Gloucester nnd to David M. Anderson that the town pays for what lt exacts from the hoboes. Tho men are required to work one hour at the water works, and for this they aro given a good meal. Tho tramps admit there is nothing wrong with the "scoff," the road's vernacular for food, but tho Idea of pushing a wheelbarrow for an hour appalls them. AVERSION TO WATER. Also, although this they do not admit, thero Is tho time-honored aversion of tho tramp to water. As a matter ot fact, tho hoboes aro not compelled to touch any of the water at tho water works, hut tho namo Is a potent one to keep them away from tlio town. Those south ward bound In New Jersey who do not heed the tales of their fellows they meet on tho road and venture as far as tho Gloucester Junglo nro halting there. Sometimes they stay In the Juuglo a few days, grumbling, and tell of the good old days when South Jersey was u haven, replcto with warm places to sleep and full of kindly folk who gave ftcely of "hand-outs" to all comers. Sometimes a rash tramp sneaks stealthily into town at night to visit the German minister, famous for tho easo with which ho may bo separated from two bits, which Is a quarter, for a night's lodging. A number of tramps have secured tho quarter and have won back to the Jungle, but more have been nnhbed by a Glouces ter bluecoat and havo been sent to the water works In tho morning for an hour of labor behind a wheelbarrow laden with coal. In the old days no tramp forced out of tho north by the weather thought of go ing south of New Jersey before spend ing a week or two ln tho glass towns of tho State. But Now Jersoy passed a lia bility law, and Hops suddenly were at a premium. Prior to that law tho tramps walked Into tho big glass works without hindrance and slept comfortably 12 hours at a time near one of tho blazing kilns. Today they are "tlaggca at tho doors.
