The New War Secretary.

Luke Wright, of Tennessee, has been selected by
President Roosevelt as secretary of war to succeed
VIM H. Taft, resigned.
Mr.. Wright was democrat of some local promn-
ence although whatever reputation he had made
was confined to Tennessee.
In 1896 he espoused the gold standard, repudiated
Bryan and supported Mckinley for president. For
this he was rewarded by Mckinley with an appoint
ment as commissioner to the Philippines
After Governor General Taft was made secretary
of by Roosevelt, Wright promoted by
Roosevelt to the governor generalship Some two
years ago Roosevelt further honored him with the
appointment of minister to Japan Mr.. Wright
gave up this position several months ago and
turned to Tennessee and is now made secretary of

GRAFT
It is said that the appointment of Mr. Wright as
secretary of war, he being a democrat from
southern state and confederate soldier, will have
tendency to remove the few remaining animosities
of the war of the rebellion. We hardly think any
traces remain of that conflict, so far as personal
feeling between the whites of the north and south
concerned There can be valid objection to the
appointment of Mr.. Wright, by President Roosevelt
to place in his cabinet. A cabinet appointment is
more or less of personal matter with the president
If Roosevelt wanted the companionship of Wright
for the balance of his term one cares much.

Mr.. Foraker appears to have been beaten at every
stage of the game He began his fight with the pres
dent and transferred it to Mr.. Taft and the fortune
of war was steadily against Mr.. Foraker. When he
sent his letter of congratulation to Mr. Taft he may
have had a small hope that the victorious faction
would not turn him out of the senate.

There is a rare treat in store for

She has a sweet voice which she has
under splendid control, giving to her
reading that infection, enunciation
and emphasis which make it remark
able in one so young and who has had
but one year in the school, as the
Globe representative was informed.
To make what might be long story
short, it. may be said that each pupil
performed his or her part in a praise
worthy way.
The object for giving this concert
at the church was to let the public
have an opportunity of seeing what is
being done to prepare these sightless
children for the duties of life. This
was cleaned from the remarks made
by Mr.. Myers, He said that if parents
of children eligible to benefits of the
school could be induced to send them
here more could be asked for from
the state for the enlargement of the
institution. He said that the superin-
tendent was in hearty sympathy and
accord with what is being done.
The principal, Mrs. Lowe, also gave
a splendid talk, reviewing in pointed
way the work being accomplished at
the institution. She appealed to the
people to cooperate with the manage
ment in making the institution what
it should be-a blessing to the unfor-
tunate children that an overruling
Providence has ordained must go
through this world without the aid
of sight. She recounted instances of
some who have received the benefits
of the institution and have gone out
into life and how helpful they have
become in the respective communities
iii which they live She gave a graph
ic and succinct description of student
life at the institution-howt they work
how they live, how they worship, how
helpful they are, how contented, how
genial and kindly cOnsiderate Of eacl
others welfare and comfort. From
beginning to end her talk was inter
esting, full Of information, sugges
ton and appeal.

On last Sunday afternoon large
body of the citizens of Nashville as
sembled at the ST.. John A. M. E.
Church to pay the last tribute of re-
spect to one of the leading characters
of the state of Tennessee, the late
Rev. Nelson McGavock He was
pioneer in more ways than one, and
served the community we'll in which
he lived. Rev McGavock was a
FAINTER by trade and a minister Of the
Gospel by choice. After singing by
the choir and Scripture reading
Rev. B. G. Gordon, the pastor, read
the following obituary:
"Rev. Nelson McGavock was born
March 8, 1923, and died March 13,
1908. He was at tn etime Of his
death 85 years anad 10 days Of age.
There are but few if any who can re-
member him other than Rev. McGav'
ock; for he found Christ precious to
his soul in early boyhood and thence
became a devout Christian and gos
pel-bearer for his Master. This
course he continued to pursue, witt
meekness and great reverence till he
was summoned to come home

Rev. McGavock has not laid hi
burden down suddenly, for he ha
lived fourscore and five years. For
years of which time, he was pract

MUST DIG UP THE COIN.

Minot, April 6. An order COM
pelling Barney Frank to turn over
to Dudley l.. Nash, trustee in
bankruptcy, $1,000, which it is
alleged he is holding unlawfully
from his creditors, was issued by
Referee in Bankruptcy, j. H.
Lewis.
The case came up on an order
to show cause why Frank should
not be compelled to turn the mon
ey over. There is also a criminal
charge pending against Mr.. Frank
for concealing property from the
trustee, and this order to show
cause was a civil action to compel
Frank to turn over the money.
The case will undoubtedly be ap-
pealed to Judge Amidon, and in
the event that Mr.. Lewis order is
affirmed, Mr.. Frank will be
forced to turn over the money or
be guilty of contempt of court.
