At Eastern Normal.

Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart was greeted
Monday night at Eastern Normal by a
large and intensely interested audience.
She came underline auspices of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs. After a
chorus by % or 30 young ladies, then a
quartet by four young ladies, violin Sc
lection with piano accompaniment and
hearty encore, which was responded
to by another selection, Mrs. Stewart
was introduced by DIR. Crabbe in his
usual pleasing manner.
Mrs. Stewart then began her address
and for so minutes held the closest at
tenlion of the audience. The name of
Cora Wilson Stewart is known in every
hamlet in Kentucky and in very many
States besides Kentucky-indeed, her
name and her work have become almost
nation wide. She was the first TO con-
ceive the idea of moonlight schools and
organized them in her own county of
Rowan to stamp out illiteracy among
her people. Under her leadership and
with the aid of other faithful teachers
OF Rowan, many seemingly insurmount-
able difficulties were overcome and the
enterprise became success from the
start. 1t was through her influence thai
the bill creating an illiteracy commits
sion of five members was passed by the
last General Assembly. The Governor
very properly and promptly appointed
her chairman of the com mission. Mrs
Stewart is graceful speaker and force
full as we'll, often pathetic and not with.
out a vein of humor in what she says
The secret of her power and success il
the great and good work she has under
taken lies in her intense enthusiasm anC
earnestness. Her mind, heart and sou
are in the work. Every fiber of her be
ing is enthused. IL is we'll known wha
a great work she has done in Rowan
and yet she modestly declines to tax
the honor to herself, but gives the cred
it to the faithful teachers of that >coun
,ty. This is but a brief and imperfec
notice. There is much more we coul
say; much more we would love to sa
along the line of the good work that ha
been done. is being done and remains We
to be done. Mrs. Stewart has out bt
gun this work and has Shown what ca
be done. Let every one do his or he
part, some way, some how, either b
financial aid or by personal help. A
Mrs. Stewart puts it, let Kentucky b
not 9th from the top in the illiteraoy {
States. but 9th from the bottom.

WAR WITH MEXICO?
Situation Briefly Stated.

On the 9th inst. a boat without an
American flag and with nine marines
and one officer landed in Tampico, Mex.
Col. Hinojosa, who has charge of de-
Tending that point, detained the marines
and officer aud conducted them to the
presence of the General in command of
the forts.
1t should be remembered that at this
time the port not only was under mill
tary control, but was withstanding an
attack by the rebels.
Gen. Zaragoza Immediately and with
out even investigating the case, put the
marines and officer at liberty, placed
Hinojosa in prison and sent an apology
to Rear Admiral Mayo, the commander
of the American fleet
To all appearances Admiral Mayo ap-
proved and was satisfied TO accept on be-
half of the U. S. government the apollo
gy. Some time later, however. he de-
manded another and different apology.
The matter was taken up by the Wash
ington authorities. who endorsed Ad-
miral Mayo's views and demanded the
second apology, and after several COM
munications had passed between the u
S. officials and those of Mexico, Presi-
ident Wilson on Saturday the 18th, at
p. M, issued the following ultimatum:
Gen Huerta is still insisting upon
doing something less than has been de-
manded and something less than would
constitute an acknowledgment that his
representatives were entirely in the
wrong in the indignities they have put
upon the government of the United
States.
THE President has determined tina
if Gen. Huerta has not yielded by p.
m. Sunday afternoon he will take the
matter TO Congress Monday"
Gen. Huerta has refused to accede to
the Presidents demand. Mr.. Wilson
called Cabinent meeting at 1870 Mon
day morning. The result of this was
that the Cabinet stands by the Presi.
dent. A joint meeting of both branches
of Congress was called for Monday at 3
p. M. at which time the President laid
the whole matter before that body.
What the outcome will be no one can
predict. The U. S. government has
never officially recognized the Huerta
government and therefore cannot offici-
cially declare war against it.
Besides this, President Wilson says
emphatically that under no circumstan.
ces will the U. S. fight Mexico. What
this statement means in the light OF
events that are taking place, we cannot
even hazard a guess. Meanwhile u. S.
ships of war are on their way to Mexican
waters, due to arrive there this afternoon
at o'clock.
LATER-Congress by an almost unani.
nous vote has authorized the President
to declare war against Huerta's de factc
government. The resolution expressly
states that the U. S. disclaims any hos
tility toward the Mexican people, or any
purpose to make war on them.
More than likely before this paper
reaches your home the U. S. government
will have taken possession of the Mexi-
can custom houses at Tam pico and Vera
Cruz.
