Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, the second-class matter. CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1901. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. THE BLACK SHEEP. Now and then some low-lived scyophant of the south jumps on his own race and excoriates them in a manner that is at once most shameful and heartless. The thing is done more in a patronizing spirit and with a view of incurring the favor of the southern whites, who even feel no care nor sympathy for the blacks. One Prof. Williams appears in the Memphis Commercial Appeal as the champion of the southern whites and as the defamer of his own race, heaping upon them the vilest epithets that ever appeared in print. But Williams knows that he utters falsehoods and the Appeal knows it as well. Yet because Williams is so lecherous, crack-brained and depraved as to assail his own people in this merciless and brutal manner, the Appeal degrades its columns with the slimy pollutions of this brainless idiot. This roll of idiots seems to be on the increase and it is about time that their kind be heartily repudiated and cast out. As though they would out Herod Herod or excel the bitterest opponents of the Afro-American, these wretches hasten to denounce the whole race as being lower than brutes. What fools indeed, that we are to become the assailants of ourselves! The English language affords no word too strong to be applied in denunciation of such knaves. The word traitor cannot fittingly express the unqualified meanness of the man who in cold and heartless intent strikes a poor suffering people in their weakness. The press is already too cruel in its thrusts. Why should a member of the race join hands in demeaning and villifying his kindred, and that too so unsparingly? The whites themselves know better. They know the real merits of the race as well as their imperfections and they know of the wrong and high-handed injustice that is done them even in their new condition. Americans are not blind to the magnitude of the crime perpetrated against an innocent and almost helpless people, and yet Prof. Williams, like Iscariot, joins in the crusade to aid in the destruction of those who are bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. Such disloyalty calls for the scorn and contempt of enlightened mankind and admits of no excuse nor palliation. An enemy to the cause of justice, an enemy to humanity and his race, let him die the death of a traitor and his body rest in an ignoble grave. SLAVERY IN SOUTH CAROLINA. A cruel state of bondage even as bad as that before the civil war is disclosed in South Carolina. The bondage is shrouded under the convict lease system and has provoked public condemnation to such an extent as to move the courts to institute an investigation. It may or it may not be that the authorities have had knowledge of this system of slavery as upheld in South Carolina, but it is very certain that the people of South Carolina are to be censured for this outrage upon the constitution and the government of the United States. The convict lease system is known to be one of basest robbery and inhumanity and it speaks very bad for the law-abiding people of that state, that black men should be thus restrained of their liberty and the right to earn an honest dollar. No greater crime can be charged to an enlightened people and no greater shame can come upon them than that of deliberate robbery of the right of personal liberty. Emancipation has made it possible that every man shall enjoy his birthright freedom, but the people of South Carolina taking advantage of the convict lease system, have entered into the fraudulent business of theft and plunder. Well knowing the meanness of the perfidy they conceal the crime of human bondage under the cover of the convict lease system. Eloquent in the maintenance of their courts of justice, they harbor a gang of thieves, no better in practice than the Jesse James crew. Zealous in the prosecution of penal offenses against the state, they have winked at a villainly unmatched in the annals of our country. It is hardly possible to conceive that under the new order of things, a people professedly so ardent in their devotion to honesty and fair dealing would allow such robbery to be recorded against the state. The best families profess to teach their children probity, integrity and virtue. Why then blacken the record of a people struggling to nobler aims and the best interests of the state? But it is found that some of the most prominent people are implicated in this stealing. Men who owned slaves in the fifties are found dealing in the traffic as practically as in the days of slavery. One of the leading offenders is known in the person of one W. S. Newell, of Anderson, who operated a stockade farm where colored men have been forced to surrender their liberty. Colored men have been arrested on the public highway and sent as prisoners to the farm and garbed in stripes to labor in enforced servitude. Others in their attempt to escape have been instantly shot down and proof has been adduced to show that those held as convicts have been traded in exchange for others held as slaves, thus making slavery possible, contrary to federal law. The most shocking feature of the system has been the sending of convicts to the stockade farm upon trumped up charges, where their freedom has been taken and their identity lost in the mountain farm. And it is now known that some of the first people of the state have been engaged in this modern slave traffic. But South Carolina is found not to be alone in this disgraceful stealing. The practice is stealthily carried on in Mississippi and Georgia and bad men are as active in this sort of speculation in slave labor as in the darkest rule of the slave master. The horror of the whole affair exists in the fact that under the very eye of the nation these states have been allowed through sheer stealth to maintain a practice that demands the full penalty of the law. To-day a system of slavery is being operated in the south by that people who insist that they are the best friends of the Negro. They demand that they shall be let alone in the management of their home institutions and they demand it in the face of a vile and unpardonable hypocrisy. Mississippi and Georgia as well are joined in the purpose to perpetuate the enslavement and degradation of the colored man of the south, and yet the whites of the south would have the world believe that they are to all intents and purposes the nearest and best friends of the Afro-American. But until the southern whites shall abandon their cruel barbarisms and prove beyond all doubt their fidelity to law, to humanity and justice, it is evident that the whole intention of that people is to reduce the race to helpless bondage.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1901. [Continued from first page.] son elector from the state-at-large. He canvassed the entire state, and received for the ticket in Richmond county, in which is the city of Augusta, the largest vote ever polled for a republican. In 1896 he was elected a delegate to the national republican convention at St. Louis, as a McKinley delegate. At this convention the Georgia delegation named him as its representative on the republican national committee, and he was reelected to the same at the republican national convention held in Philadelphia in 1900. In 1896 he was requested by the bar association of Georgia to take charge, among republicans, of the amendment to the constitution of the state providing for an increase of the number of justices of the supreme court from three to five. The amendment was non-partisan in character, and was rendered necessary by the crowded condition of the calendar of the court. He succeeded in getting it endorsed by the republicans, and it was ratified at the polls. It had failed on two former occasions because of republican and populist opposition. The daily papers credited him with securing its ratification. The republican organization of the state of Georgia endorsed Mr. Lyons for appointment as postmaster at Augusta, in the advent of President McKinley's administration. The color of the candidate called forth the most determined opposition to the appointment from a great number of the white citizens of Augusta. But, although the fight dragged its weary length through the spring, summer and autumn of 1897, not the breath of a suggestion reflecting on the mental and moral fitness of Mr. Lyons for the place, came from any quarter. This fact so impressed the president that he at once concluded that a man who could go through such a fiery ordeal and come forth unscathed, deserved a position of higher dignity and influence than a postmastership. A vacancy occurring in the registorship of the treasury by the death of former United States Senator B. K. Bruce, President McKinley nominated Mr. Lyons to fill the position. As register of the treasury, Mr. Lyons has borne himself with becoming modesty and dignity and has given evidence of an administrative ability of a high order. The war loan of 1898 presented new problems to the office of the register. The loan was to be taken by the people; former ones had been taken by the banks and syndicates. The clerical force of the office had to be temporarily increased to meet the emergency. But, notwithstanding the new conditions imposed, the large force of inexperienced clerks to be trained, the thousands of bidders to be dealt with, not a single error occurred, not a single bond went astray. Two hundred million dollars in bonds were sent to thousands of purchasers without a hitch or a mistake. Mr. Lyons has been, and is now, identified with the educational advancement of his race in many ways, as teacher, trustee, maker of addresses to schools, colleges and at teachers' gatherings, and as legal adviser. The Atlanta Baptist college conferred upon him the degree of A. M. at the commencement of 1900. In the campaign of last year he took a very active part, stumping in the west and middle west principally, and his speeches were described by the press as unusually strong and able.

BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight.

It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozono straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application.

Mr. Eubanks wished to make a political speech and at the same time present the Old Folks' Home with $25. The president of the club informed him that he could either present the $25 or purchase $25 worth of tickets, but that no speech would be allowed. Mr. Howe, or any other candidate, would have been denied the same privilege, so that the charge of discrimination against the club is false. A LAND OF MILK AND HONEY. Explorer Cherry Found It in Central Africa, the Only Drawback Being that It is Peopled by Cannibals. Chicago, March 7.—William Stamps Cherry, the African explorer who recently returned to this country, last night with the aid of a stereopticon entertained the members of the Chicago Press club. He made public for the first time many of his discoveries and spoke interestingly of his many adventures in central Africa. Mr. Cherry told of his exploration of the immense Kotto region, and the finding of three new native tribes in this hitherto inaccessible country, and of his discoveries in natural history, including two new species of antelope and one of small elephants having no tusks. He gave a graphic description of his life among the different cannibal tribes and said his studies of their arts and customs to the minutest details will answer many questions regarding their past history and present life. He also spoke of the importance of impressing upon the American people the great future of this immense unknown country, which in spots is entirely uninhabited, but abounds in wonderful resources. On this latter subject Mr. Cherry said; "I have found wild coffee that is pronounced first class in flavor and which can be gathered by tons; also a wild vanila and a species of wild olive. The forests are immense and represent the finest timber in the world. They are full of unknown nuts and wild fruits, peculiar in shape and flavor, but many of them pleasant to the taste, and which will become well known and useful in civilized countries. "Most of the land over which I traveled is very fertile and is watered by creeks and rivers so numerous that it is unnecessary to carry water for drinking purposes. The banks of the rivers and creeks are generally fringed by heavy wood. The rubber vine grows here in its greatest luxuriance. Bananas, pineapples, oranges, lemons and all tropical fruits grow in such abundance that there is little use for a native to work more than an hour a day. Rice, corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts are some of the foods that are frequently found and which grow like weeds with but little attention; the manioc and yam and a great many other fruits, vegetables and grains, unknown to the people of the temperate zone, grow there abundantly. Tobacco and sugar cane flourish as in their native soil. "The geographical position is the finest of any country and the railroads of the future will open up this vast region to commerce and immigration and I look forward to the time when the cities of Africa situated on the banks of some of these beautiful rivers with their myriads of islands and cataracts will be the most picturesque in the world." Mr. Cherry spoke of slave trading, saying that the general impression was that it had been partially done away with, but when he reached the interior he found the curse fully as bad as in the days when Livingston journeyed through Africa. Mr. Cherry found whole regions depopulated by the slave traders, and when he arrived at the Kotto river the country had just been raided by an Arab chief, who did his work in such a thorough manner that a whole tribe was annihilated. Virginia and Maryland, as well as Alabama and Georgia, have taken steps to disfranchise their Afro-American voters. They are following the lead of Mississippi, Louisiana, South and North Carolina.

"BROOKLYN, June 3, 1892.—This is to certify I came to New York from Albany. I was a stranger at a store when I bought out of money. I had no luck in anything I undertook. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shea. I did; he told me the cause of all my trouble; he took me in and treated me like a brother. Through him I got a good position that very week. I had been to others; they took my money and said me no good. I bless the day I took him. So I did. I did not luck, sick or in trouble, to go to him at once.

I gave him up as dead. Hearing of the wonderful things DR. SHEA was doing, I resolved to consult him. He told me my husband was alive and well and where he was; told me he would come home and when. To me he would come home now; came back like one from the dead. I to say that this month I lost the sum of $2.0. I am a poor woman and I was most insane. I went to DR. SHEA and he told me I would find my money and to my intense joy I did find it as he told me. I thank God there is a man so gifted in our midst that can help people and tell them what to do.

I do not know what is the matter with me." You hear these words every day; as often as you meet your friends just so often are these words repeated. More than likely you speak the same significant words yourself, and no doubt you do feel far from well most of the time. Mrs. Ella Rice, of Chelsea, Wis., whose portrait we publish, writes that she suffered for two years with bearing-down pains, headache, backache, and had all kinds of miserable feelings, all of which was caused by falling and inflammation of the womb, and after doctoring with physicians and numerous medicines she was entirely cured by MRS. ELLA RICE Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If you are troubled with pains, fainting spells, depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere, headache, backache, and always tired, please remember that there is an absolute remedy which will relieve you of your suffering as it did Mrs. Rice. Proof is monumental that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the greatest medicine for suffering women.

CONSUMPTION HOW MONEY IS MADE System of Coining Adopted in Uncle Sam's Mints. No Business in the World Is Conducted with More Care and Attention to Details-Loss Almost Impossible. THERE is no subject with which humanity as a whole is more deeply concerned than that of "money making." However, this expression is seldom taken in its literal sense, but, since the earliest times when the exchange of merchandise was the foundation of intercourse ASSAY FURNACES. between the several races, money of some description has been manufactured. In ancient Rome leather money was in circulation, but, as a rule, civilized nations have employed medals and coins of metal. The Chinese are said to have had rude, square, bronze coins, 1120 B. C. Those in use in Greece, 300 B. C., equaled, if not surpassed, in design those of the present day. Portaits of individuals, records of historical events, languages and the fine arts have been preserved to us, in many instances, only through the coins and medals of the people with whom they passed current. One of the first concerns of a nation, when it begins to individualize itself, is to have a legal tender of its own. Hence nothing could be more consistent than President Washington's approval, in 1792, of an act establishing a mint, and the first building erected in the United States, for public use, by authority of the federal government, was the United States mint building in Philadelphia. In 1829 a more pretentious structure was built to accommodate the growing requirements of the institution. In 1786 the present decimal system was established. The collection of United States coins up to the present time is complete at this mint, although, in some cases, only one was struck from a die. These are marked "unique," and are in value beyond price. The mints established in other cities, as the growing needs of the nation demanded, were, for many years, denominated "branch mints," but under the treasury department of the United States a bureau of the mint was established in 1873. The mints were then all made independent, reporting to a director at the head of the bureau. The largest of our mints—in fact, the largest in the world, and, in many respects, the most interesting—is located in San Francisco. It issued its first money in 1854. The corner stone of the present edifice, which, with its site, cost $3,130,512, was laid in 1874. A visit to this building, under the escort of one of the conductors provided for the purpose, during the early part of the day, well repays anyone who is anxious to see how Uncle Sam makes his money. Of the 17 watchmen employed, 12 guard the treasure at night, four outside the building and eight inside. At stated periods each must be at certain designated points, and a system of electric signals keeps all in communication. In certain rooms no one watchman may go alone. In this INGOT SMELTING ROOM. mint are 230 employes. The capacity of the four vaults of the building is $60,000,000 in silver. There is also a vault for the assayer, cashier and receiver, two for the coiner and three for the melter and refiner, with a fourth in process of construction. When working to its full capacity, about 20 gold melts are made in the San Francisco mint per day, amounting to about $600,000, or 32 silver melts at $35,000. When gold is brought to the mint it is received on deposit after being weighed, and the depositor is given a receipt, which he may present the next day, when its value in coin will be paid. Meantime an assay is made, the dirt, quicksilver, silver and other substances being separated from the richer metal. Each deposit, weighed and tagged, is placed in a sheet iron box, inclosed in a lock box, and sent to the melting department. After being made into a bar it is returned, weighed and recorded and taken to the assayers, where chips are taken off to test its value, after which it is locked up in the receiver's room. When an assay has been reported the depositor may have his money. As 1,000 is the standard for pure gold the number of thousandths of gold in a mass of metal determines its fineness. Gold is almost never found absolutely free from silver. The depositor receives payment for the silver as well as the gold which he brought. The baser material found in the mix is of almost no intrinsic value. The assaying process is very interesting. After the baser metals have all been removed and the gold and silver parted, about 3,000 ounces of gold are weighed out for a "melt" and the requisite alloy of one-tenth copper added to make standard coin. If a slight particle of THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1901. silver remains in the bar it must be taken into account in weighing in the alloy, and this fractional amount accounts for the difference in tin in gold coins. The copper is added to give necessary hardness to the coin. A $20 gold piece contains $19.99 and a fraction of pure gold. The first and last ingot cast from every melt is assayed to ascertain if the right proportion of alloy has been used. Out of 2,012 gold melts made last year, only seven were rejected. Each morning the melting room is charged with all the metal sent in, and everything returned is weighed and shortage noted before the workmen go out. At stated times the bits adhering to the crucibles and the ashes and sweepings of the room are recovered and entered to its credit. The ingots, differing in size and weight according to the denomination for which they are to be used, are turned over to the coiner of the mint. Here they are rolled into thin strips, gauged, tested, annealed and taken to a cutting press, where planchets of the exact size and thickness of the coins into which they are to be made, are punched out. These blanks are sent to the adjusting room, where about 65 ladles are employed to weigh and file each. Each morning and evening the amount for a day's work is weighed. The checking system is close enough to detect the absence of a dime from 625-000 pieces. In the two adjusting rooms, each of the sections, into which the rows of long, marble-topped tables are divided, has a zinc-lined drawer for the use of an adjuster. A leather apron secured to the sides of the drawer has straps to pass over the shoulders of the adjuster, who is also provided with glove fingers, a linen apron and sleeves. The bits of metal adhering to all these are brushed into the drawer when the wearer leaves her post. Each section is provided with scales, and every blank must be carefully filled until it is exactly of the required weight. The amount of filings and dust collected in this room is weighed and refined quarterly. From one of its carpets, burned in 1893, $4,415 in gold and $23 in silver were recovered. All the blanks which have passed the weighing test are taken to the coiners' room and fed by hand, through a vertical tube, into the milling machine. They are carried around at the rate of 600 revolutions per minute by an automatic feeder. The milling is for the purpose of raising the edge in order that the medallion work on the surface may be protected. It also serves to render the pieces perfectly round. They are then cleaned and taken to the SILVER REDUCTION TANKS. pressroom, where a pressman feeds them to an automatic pair of feeders, which place each separate piece on the reverse, or lower die. The obverse die, fixed on a joint above, comes down and every mark is made upon the coin at one stroke. The pieces are then examined and, if all are perfect, are boxed and sent to the chief weigher of this department. Gold coins and silver dollars are counted by weight, and smaller silver coins are weighed, then counted by means of grooved boards provided for each denomination. The dime board holds 1,250 pieces, and by means of it an expert can count 10,000 pieces in three minutes. Two coins are sent from the first three deliveries of each week to the bureau of the mint at Washington, and one piece in each thousand of gold and one from each two thousand of silver pieces are sent to the Philadelphia mint for special assay. It is said that coin is manufactured at less cost in the San Francisco mint than elsewhere in this country. EDWARD JULIAN. MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE. The Sky-Scraping Tower of the Pan- American Exposition at Buffalo. People traveling to the Pan-American exposition from the direction of Niagara Falls will get their first view of the Electric tower from a distance of 12 or more miles. From the river side of the steam or electric cars, the Electric tower is seen looming up in the southern sky high above all other objects on the horizon. As the tower nears completion, says the exposition bulletin, the eyes of passengers on the trains and trolleys feast upon its magnificent height of 391 feet and obtain an impressive intimation of the mammoth proportions and beauty on which the exposition is being built. The magnitude of the Electric tower and its graceful lines cannot fail to impress all with the conviction that when it is illuminated by the thousands of lights given life by the transmitted energy of the wonderful dynamics of Niagara, it will be a truly gorgeous spectacle, surpassing in its royal beauty anything of the kind ever erected by man. It will delight every eye that sees it. It will stir the hearts and minds of all with admiration for the men that conceived it and carried the plans to such glorious perfection. In every department the Pan-American will portray the progress of the Americas up to the present time, and when people view the electrical splendor of the exposition they will feel satisfied no matter what the century has in store in the way of additional progress, to have lived in an age when such results were possible of accomplishment. In these results the old and young will find education and entertainment, and their admiration of it till, which they will express on their home-going, will be simply reflective of the wondrous electric effects.

A fresh young man had a large chunk of conceit removed from his cranium during the past week. The one who removed it was a pretty young Dublin girl who is in Albany for a few weeks' visit while awaiting the establishment of her father's home in the west. One evening last week she was visiting at a friend's house when the fresh young man dropped in. He was charmed with her ways and wit, and worked hard all evening to create an impression. He was flattering himself on his success until the end, which occurred as he left her at the door of her temporary home. Before saying good-night she thanked him heartily for his kindness in accompanying her home. "Oh, don't mention it," gurgled the young man in his nicest way. "Indeed, I won't. I'm as much ashamed of it as you are," was the startling reply. The fresh young man is worrying about what she really meant.—Albany Journal.

LIKE A TERRIBIBLE CYCLONE grip bacillus has passed over our country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, leaving behind it a dark cloud of anguish and despair.

The hope to these people is Peruna. Most people know this already. Everyone who has had the least touch of grip, should not fail to take a course of treatment with Peruna. Peruna eradicates the vestige of the disease and leaves the system in a normal condition. Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman from Illinois, writes from the National Hotel, Washington, D.

Miss Alice Dressler, 1313 North Bryant Miss Alice Dressler, 1313 North Bryant avenue Minneapolis, Minn. writes: avenue, Minneapolis, Minn., writes: "Last spring I suffered from la gripe and was partially cured, but the bad after-effects remained through the summer, and somehow I did not get strong as I was before. In the fall I caught a cold after getting my feet wet and attending a lecture in a cold hall, and I suffered a relapse. An unpleasant catarrh of the head and throat followed, and as I was in a weak condition physically previous to this, it took but little to break me down completely. "One of my college friends who was visiting me, asked me to try Peruna, and I did so and found it all and more than I had expected. It not only cured me of the catarrh, but restored me to perfect health, built up the entire system, and brought a happy feeling of buoyancy which I had not known for years." -Miss Alice Dressler.
