The Ross case, Ike all things transient rs
gradually disappearing from the pnoiic
mind, but before we give it final good .by
allow me to offer you theory, which thss
far l have not seen presented. am
neghbor of Christian X Ross, ana we
nciShbors have our thoughts and opinions
ON the subject OF the cbild's disappearance
which l think should be presented 10 tue
world. y.
About ten years ago when Christian KISS
was making his mark, aud when his busi-
ncfs was in the most prosperous condt,oh
he married Western lady OF good family,
and very wealthy. lie had two children oi
the marriage, Walter Ross aud Charles
brewster Ro.s. For long time this was
one Of the happiest families in all Phiiauei.
phia, but few years ago Roas began 10 lead
the life OF dsbluchse; lie sought otner
company than his wife's, his business De-
gan to decrease, aud he became bankrupt.
| To n refined and delicate woman like his
wife, this was crashing blow, and she Ned
from the man, leaving the children In his
care, aud sought the protection OF her
friends. To my knowledge no divorce ever
took place between the parties, and short
time after the flight Of the wife, another
woman took her place in the family, VINO
\ still occupies il.
The following is the theory of those who
know the family, and who are acquainted
with Ross personally:
Some months before the kidnapping MIR.
Ross received letters from his first and only
wife asking and demanding the children.
1t will bo recollected that even UP TO this
time he had refused TO show any OF the let
tcrs he received, with the exception OF the
blaekmailing note, and it will also be borne
in mind that the attempt was made TO steal
both the children. 1t was not until three
days after the kidnapping that the fact wat
made public, and until that timn the cal
was safely in the hands Of its mother or hel
friends in the West. We think Mr. Ros
knows now, and always did know, wher'
his child is, but r>irained IRON making
public, for family matters. AS regards th'
advertisements, the blackmailing note, NC
we think they are all forgcries, writer
either by Ross himself or his friends, in
tended to divert public attention from th
f,cts "

PRESERVING TIE VERDUKE OF Tom.
AToEs If you want nice, fresh, ripe
tomatoes until Christmas, take your
vines having green tomatoes on, before
they are much injured by frost, up by
the roots and place them in your cellar,
and the tomatoes will ripcn as well as
though they were out in the sun. We
know this to be a fact, says an cxchan'
&c, for we have tried the experiment.
Last winter we had tomatoes ripened
in this manner until Christmas.

A supposed case OF hydrophobia has puzzled the

"suspicions," YOU mean 10 allude to blackmallf
Mr.. WHITE-Well, prefer not saying anything
just now about that, especially as Mr.. Beecher has
dealt very fully with that subject in hts statement
and that statement will be the property Of the
public in O day or so. ~
REroRrER-May l ask generally, Mr. White, II
from all you have heard In the committee, and
from all other sources, your faith In Mr.. Beechers
morality and Integrity as man Is unshaken
Mr.. WHITE-Entirely. Everything will be given
