strange circumstsnces Attending
Death of Mschiasport Woman.

Maohiasport, January 26.t<1he authori-
ties here and citizens In general are mys-
titled by the circumstances attending thu
death OF Mrs. Amelia A. Weloh, whose
body was found on the beach here Tues
day morning, altar she had disappeared
the night before.
At first II, was believed that the woman
had been drowned and lett on the shore
py the receding tide. but the coroner
found little evidence to bear out that
theory, although 10 was declared that the
woman died from strangulstion.
The examination Of the body showed
that the hair was not wet and that there
was very little water in the lungs. This
evidences has led many persons to accept
the theory that the woman was ohoked to
death by some person unknown, who
twisted veil which MRS. Weloh wore
around her neck 90 tightly as to end her
life.
It Is claimed that there IL no ground
for the belief that the woman committed
suicide. Her husband. Captain Charles
Weloh, was wealthy shipmsster and at
his death. which occurred at Santos shout
six years ago, he left good property for
his family. Apparently Mrs. Weloh had
ived oomf ortably and happily with her
two daughters and her young son. SO that
no foundation for the act Of suicide can
be discovered. The authorities have
looked into the case thoroughly, but up
to today have found no evidences to
throw light upon the mystery.

His Plaid Stockings and Big Money
Make Him Conspicuous.
He boarded the Woodward avenue car
at Grataoit avenue, where there was al
ready a crowd of 30 or 35 inside. He
squeezed into a seat, and woman hold
ing a child partially oozed out at the end
by the door. A dozen people glared at the
very young man. He hitched up his trou-
sers four inches above his shoe tops and
RECALLED the other passengers with a sight
OF his plaid silk hose. Every one knew
the very young man had received those
socks for Christmas, but he wasn't
aware that they knew 1t. Atop the very
young mans head rested a stiff hat with
q crown so low that the entire apparatus
looked like a fried egg done brown on
one side.
The young mans clothes were cut very
large. He wore no overcoat. There were
creases in his sleeves, and his necktis was
. plaid like the hose. He wore besides these
things q vacuous smile OF imbecility. such
as is often seen on the well bred scion of
a noble European house. Such was he In
looks.
By and by the conductor opened the
back door OF the car and let In about q
ton of winter weather and himself. He
closed the door after him, and the passen-
gers shivered. The very young man smil-
ed as vacuously as ever and gave his
trousers another hitch. Shortly the pas
sengers felt that they would be able to
tell the color of the elnstics holding those
stockings up. "Fares!" yelled the bold
conductor, extending a grimed paw here
and there. The very young man reached
into the lower right hand pocket of a vo-
cal waistcoat of stripes and pulled out a
rolled up bill. This he handed to the
conductor, first unrolling II SO that the
people alongside could see that 1t was .

Smallest you got?" growled the con-
ductor.
eyes, smallest" smiled the very young
man. The conductor knew he lied, but
the very young man didn't know that the
conductor knew. The latter rolled up the
bill again and poked it into his pocket,
then he reached to some inner compart-
ment beneath his overcoat and pulled out
a double handful of nickels and dimes.
These he stacked like the dealer Of a faro
game. Unloading a pile on the youth, he
said, There's one dollar" Before the
very young man could count the coins an
other was dumped upon him with the
words, There's another dollar" Some
body snickered. The vacuous smile left
the countenance of the very young man,
and he REDEEMED like unto a beet.
There's another dollar. That makes
three"
The man opposite laughed outright.
The red on the very young mans face
deepened. He no longer counted. That's
four" and another dump came. "Then
here's the rest" and still another hand
full of nickels and pennies was unloaded
on the youth.
Laughter In the car was general. The
youth, weighed down with wealth, made
for the door and swung from the car at
Edmund place. even IL he did live on
Alexandrine.
And the only regret of the other pas
sengers was that they had not seen the
color Of the elastics that held up the
plaid hose.-Detroit Free Press
