PRETTY GIRL DISAPPEARED.
Boston Police Looking for Young Jew
eSS Who Left Home.

BOSTON. Feb. 2s.-Peculiar disappear
ences have been more or less prevalent in
Boston for several days, but one of the
most mysterious cases for which there
appears TO be no explanation occurred
this week.
Rebecca Goldstein, a young end good
look ing Jewess, about is, left her home
last Monday evening to go short dist
ance away, and since-th hat time all traces
of her have been lacking as completely as
IL she had dissolved into thin air the
moment she stepped outside the door.
The family have been living at 13 Onei-
da street, the father, Morris Goldstein,
coming here two years ago, and the
mother and the rest of the fam ly, v it'll
the exception of Rebecca, arriving over
8 months afterward.
Rebecca, who Is the eldest OF six child
ren, did not come to Boston until about
four weeks ago, arriving via. New York,
having lived in London with the family
of her uncle, Jacob Levine, giazief, at
IL Hamburg street, Whitecbapel.
Having arrived here so recently, ber
father and mother believe that she could
not have made the acquaintance OF any
man who would have been sufficiently in
innate with her to induce her to leave
home.
About 10 days ago she secured a situa-
IlOu III tllt idlIliN Vi JdSoD utyNto, az thS
corner of Rochester street and Harrison
avenue, where she did sewing and assist
ed atout the house.
She used to come home, abont two
locks away every night, and always
s ept at home, and in fact spent all the
spare time she could at nome.
About dusk, Monday, between 5 and @
O'Clock, she went out to 20 to her en-
ployer's house. When it got to te late
and she did not come home her father
went to the Meyers house, but she had
not gone there when she went out.
Her father Immediately visited station
Sand reported her disappearance to Lieu
tenant Sullivan, who detailed two patrol
men to go through the district. They
have made a close search for her since
then, but no traces of her have been
found. No one saw her leave the street
door, and no one has yet been found who
saw her in the street.
She wore only light shswI, and was
not warmly clad or long stay outdoors.
She had on a dark dress and dark hat
and is rather short. being only little
over 5 feet.
She is described as having a round,
plump face, DARK haired and OF dark COM
plexion.
There seems to be no reason why she
should leave home, according TO The
mothers tale, as she knew no one, being
almost an entire stranger, and speaking
English rather imperfectly.
Besides that, there were 10 days. wages
coming to her, and while she was not al
together satisfied with her place, she was
well pleased at the idea of being a. work
and earning some money.
Inquiries have teen made during the
past three days in the West aud North
ends among the Hebrews, but no one has
seen her, aud but few were acquainted
with her. She had an uncle on Merrimac
street, also named Levine, but he hal not
seen her n, r heard anything her.
Her parents seem to be eltirely In the
dark as To what could be the motive that
would induce her to leave her people so
suddenly and SO my-teriously.
Knowing apparently no one, and with
no reason to leave her brothers and
sisters, father and mother, and nowise
prepared for such departure, with
money coming to her, she qu etly left the
house at dnsk and disappeared, leaving
no sign and giving no reaso
