THE EFFECTS OF RUM-A DISTRESSING CASE.
Detective Reeder's attention was yesterday
called to o most distressing case OF drunken
ness and misery by woman named sample,
living on Naudain street, above Eighteenth.
This woman has two children, one little girl of
four years and the other boy aged two. The
mother has been drunk almost without interval
for weeks past, and, of course, has allowed the
little ones to suffer the most shameful neglect.
Mr.. Reeder paid visit to the house, and there
found the children in an almost indescrloable
condition of filth. They were almost starved,
and from the appearance OF the room 1t would
have been more suitable for hog-pen than
habitaton for human beings. The drunken
mother was out at the time, and the officer re-
moved the children. They have been sent to
the Northern Home for Friendless Children.
