HOUSING WE1coms FoR REDMOND
Story of British Soldiers Cruelty Brings
 Tears to Woinen's Eyes.


 New York, Jan. 9.-John F. Redmond, the Irish political leader, received a rousing welcome in the Broadway thea ter tonight. Every seat was occupied. Among those on the platform and in the boxes were Recorder Golf, former Congressman Cochran, and O'Donovan Rosa. MT Redmond spoke on the re- belllon of 179S. He described the rising and it's failure, and eulogized it's leaders. When MT. Redmond told of the cruelty of the British soldiers in Ireland, many of the women in the audience wept. In concluding he said he hoped that what he had said on the subject of 179S would help to aid in the vindication of the men who died for Ireland. "The triumph of their cause may not come in our day" he said, "but we believe in it just as firmly as we do in the existence of our God"

INDIANS BUnNrD AT THE TREE.
Punishment Inflicted by Posse-FOur
 More Redskins Doomed.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 9-Charred and burned beyond all semblance of human beings, the frames of Markus McGeisey and Palmer Simpson, the two Seminole Indians who a few days ago murdered Mrs. James Simmons are still reclining in chairs against the blacken- ed trunk of an oak tree in the Semi- nole nation, where Friday night they met their death in the most awful man. ner conceivable at the hands of an Ok lahoma mob.
 The flesh is burned from the bones, the fingers and hands are burned from the frames and the ghastly skeletons bereft of feet and ankles stand on blackened bones in the ashes on the ground. Additional details of the work of the mob were received to-day. Ac- cording to this information the work is not yet finished and will be completed only when four more Indians have been dealt with in the same manner. A posse of citizens was securing the coun- try for the four men when the messen- ger left Maud and it is probable that at least part of the quartet have by this time paid the penalty decreed by the mad populace.

The penny Mauritius stamp was is
sued with two-penny of similar design,
in 1917, its extreme rarity being due not
only to the time which has elapsed
since its appearance. but also to the
yery small number printed. 1t is the
rarest stamp in the world, and has been
recently purchased by an Englishmen
for over 1000, which is the largest sum
ever given for single stamp in Eng
land. Only one other copy on the
original envelope is known, and that is
in the British Museum. 1t is believed
that nearly all these stamps were used
up on the day of issue in franking in
vitations to an official ball.

SALUTING IN THE ARMY.
A Thing Which Volunteers Never
Learn How to Do the
ReEulars Do 1t.

One thing which the volunteers find
1t hard to do-a thing which perhaps
they will never do in anything like the
form in which the regulars do it's to
salute officers. Take n volunteer who
is bronzed and big like a regular, and
put him in regulars clothes and send
him out on the street, and he would
certainly betray himself as a volunteer
at his first meeting with an officer.
The regular, walking on the street,
snlutes every officer he meets by rails
ing the Strengthened fingers of his
right hand to the brim of his hat, just
over the right eye, and keeping them
there until the officer has passed. The
volunteer cannot be made to hold his
hand there in any such way, says the
Boston Transcript.
If he salutes strange officer of low
rank at all, he salutes him with the
quicl, dash which is the regular Off
GERS salute to the private. If the reg
ular soldier is seated when an officer
approaches in camp, on the street or
anywhere else, he rises, faces the Off
Ger, stands very erect, and makes this
salute. No one ever sees volunteer
private do this. \ regular cavalryman
trying to get his horse across the
bridge while an electric car was cross
ing it from the other direction. The
horse was plunging and leaping wildly,
and the soldier had to work hard to
control him. At this moment young
second lieutenant OF Ohio volunteers
came along the footway. In the midst
of his horses gyrations the mounted
regular managed to salute the pedcs-
trian officer i'll proper form. The smile
of admiration and satisfaction on that
young officers face was worth going 4
long way to see.
