Says q Baltimore letter to the Chi
cago TribuRo! Cup the street few
doors from Mr. CARROTS house is the
large, substantial, square, white. painted
dwelling of his sister, Miss Mary Gar
rett, having an old-fashioned cupola on
top and an immense conservatory in the
rear. A friendly rivalry has been de-
velopod between Robert and his sister
as to which should possess the finer
residence. In the matter of appoint
ments both are superb and pretty we'll
balanced. As soon as Bob began to
build his sister commenced to repair,
and the good-natured contest was kept
up until BoD's palace was completed,
by which time Miss Mary's house had
been entirely renovated and now both
challenge the admiration of people less
rich than either"
