a SISTERS SHAME.

/ luefe was recently developed at the
/ Cincinnati police headquarters another
one Of those sad cases wherein Il young
woman, bent on going to the bad, was
rescued from q house of shame and taken
home by her grief-st'chen father. In the
| present case, however, the young woman
belongs to a wealthy and respected family,
aud the circumstances are peculiarly dis
tressing.
Her name, says the Enquirer, is Sallie
Loeb, and she is the daughter Of Mr.. Adam
Loeb, the we'll known Pearl street mei-
chant. She is about Is years Of age, dark
complexioned with black hair and eyes,
withal, a pleasant-loo1ing girl, who
would not be taken for one of her expert
ence. In conversation, however, she is
| not very bright, and apparently her mind
has become slightly demented by what
she has undergone. About four weeks
ago 5allie left the elegant home Of her
parents, and took up her abode in a Long
worth street house Of ill-fame, where she
remained but one night, going to another
house Of silmllar character the following
day. She was found in the latter place by
Officer Altevera, who escorted her to
superintendent Reilley's office, and she
returned to her home. LII II few days she
again left her home. Sergeant Rittweger
Of central station saw her on two or three
occasions in front Of house Oh Long
worth street, but did nothing. as her par
ents had made no complaint Time
passed on, and finally, yesterday after
noon, Officer Altevers found the girl in
brothel Of the lowest kind, kept by Kate
Dugan, on LongWorth street, and took
her to central station. On being ques-
toned, Sallie said she did not think her
folks cared anything more Of her.
"Why did you leave homer" was asked.
'SBecause my sisters did not treat me
right. They drove me to it. When I was
Is years Of age was seduced by young
man living in our vicinity. During my
illness I was at the city hospital. My
father would not have anything to do with
my child, and the poor thing died in the
infirmary. Leaving the hospital, I re-
turned home where I remained until a few
weeks ago. My sisters were continually
throwing into my face the trouble had,
and [ could stand it no longer and left. I
do not like the life have been leading,
but what else can do? [ want to quit,
but would rather go some place else than
fome.n
Mr.. Loeb was sent for and came to the
station. He did not know until yesterday
where his daughter was. Then a gentle
man told him that Sallie had ii fuss on
LongWorth street.
81 was away when my daughter left,
said Mr.. Loeb, ''and returning home, ]
found that my other daughters had refused
to let Sa1lie in the house. Sallie seems
bent on going wrong, so what can | do?''
Lieut.. Meara suggested that he should
take some steps in regard to his daughters
condition. She did not seem to be able to
take care of herself, and the way she has
been treated on LongWorth streets cruel.
It was this that led officer Alteyers to ar
rest the girl without orders Yesterday.
The father seemed greatly affected, and
said | am wealthy but still the poorest
man in the city. Ny daughter has made
me an old man. My heart is bleeding"
No signs Of recognition passed. Between
father and daughter when they met. She
was told by Lieut.. Meara that she must re-
turn home, and if she ever left again she
might expect to be sent to the work-house
81 don't want to go home, - said the un-
fortunate girl, breaking out in tears 81
would rather go in the country some
place. y
It was finally arranged for her TO return
home, and she left the station with her
heart-broken father.
