A News reporter this morning vis-
tied the former residence of Rosalie
Grant, No. 118 Harrison avenues and made
inquiries through the neighborhood con-
cern:ng the reputation left by Sister"
Rosalie. who moved away from that
neighborhood about four years ago.
The former neighbors of SISTER" Rosalie
do not speak very highly of her, and do
not hesitate to say the neighborhood was
greatly benefited by her departure. The
inmates of the home were generally OF
a noisy disposition and it was partly due
to the protests of the neighbors that
Sister Rosalie was requested to remove
her institution which she did.
Mr. C. McCabe, a cigar manufacturer.
at No. 81 Montgomery street, was also
interviewed by the reporter. He said
Sister Rosalie, or Rosalie Grant. has
often come to me for contributions. She
always appeared to me to be an earnest,
hard working woman and everybody who
has had any dealings with her has said
the same. In regard to her costume, she
told me that she was not a sister, and
she wore the robe because it afforded her
protection She could enter some places,
she told me- in the garb of a sister that
she could not enter otherwise.
