Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 15.—The negro, George Meadows, was hang ed at Pratt mines this morning, by the mob of quiet, but determined men, who had him in charge all day yesterday andall night. While Mrs. Kellam, his victim, was almost posi- tive in her identification this morn- ing, just as she was yesterday, she still asked the mob not to hang him as she might possibly be mistaken. There is little doubt that this was because she shrank from the respons- ibility of saying what she knew would cause certain death, and the mob so regarded it. It was proved at the coroner's inquest yesterday that Meadows had previously rav- ished a negro girl, and the crowd this morning concluded that this solved what little doubt there was as to his being the ravisher in this case, and so swung him up and rid dled his body with bullets. He protested his innocence to the last. Standing With His Throat Crt. New York, Jan. 16.—A man named William Rind, aged 55, was found at an early hour this morning standing in front of 215 East Fifty-third street with his throat cut. He was under the influence of liquor when found and could give noinformation as to how he came by his injuries except that he was cut by two men somewhere down town. The detec- tives are investigating the case but have gained no clue. They think it possible that Rind may have at- tempted suicide. He is notlikely to recover. He lived happily with his second wife at East Fifty-third street. Piles! Piles! Itching Piles. Symproms—Moisture, intense itching and stinging; most at night; worse bv scratching.

His compreheusion is never duilec by fatigue. In fact, his friends say that his mind never feels weariness, and that he sleeps only when a wor out body compels him. The thing that he doesat night is qui to run oyer every one of the numer- ous designs in the hands of the 25 designers and take in the progress and possibilities at a glance. The first thing in the morning he goes the same rounds again, discusses each of the designs with the worker, suggesting here, adding there, changing in the details, in a way that shows he has given each design ma- ture thought since the examination of the night before. When did he get time for the consideration? people ask. Oh, he must have thought them over in bed, answer his em- ployes. Indeed, the statement that he dreams most of his ideas is one that meets credence with some of the superstitious in his employ. Talk about your phonograph,” said an employe, “it cannot com- pare as an object of wonder to the man who invented it. But you have to work alongside of him in thesame class of work to fully realize that.” A visitor found the Wizard on Sunday with one of his phonograph- ic dolls in pieces before him, anda piece of paper on the table covered with rough pencilings. “An idea suddenly hit me at breakfast this morning,” said Mr. Edison, “fcr cheapening this doll, and I couldn't rest till to-morrow to put it on paper.
