ENVY AND CONTEMPT.

Envy for those who are ahead and
contempt for those who are behind
are among the most useless and
harmful emotions of the human mind.
Neither envy nor contempt pro-
duce results in service, and nothing
counts for good unless it can be re-
duced to terms of mental or physical
profit for somebody.
1t is perfectly natural, and there
fore right, to wish for ones self tbs
advantages that others enjoy. When
this takes the form of emulation il

VOLCANIC ERUPTION
STARTLES ALASKANS
Ashes Falling Thickly Over
Cordova; Volcano Is in
Cook Inlet Country.

CORDOvA, Alaska. juno Vol
canic ash is falling thickly over this
city, showing that the neavy cannon
aiding heard in the mountains all last
night was the noise of a volcano In
eruption. The time between the can
nonading and the fall OF the. ASH here
was so short that it is believed the
volcano is the Redoubt or the llamna
mountain, in the Cook inlet country.
The cloud effect throughout tins sec
tion of Alaska was unusual all day,
dull clouds hanging low with south
west wind,
The cannonading was first heard last
night at 7 CLOCK and continued with
out interruption until after 3 o'clock
this morning. The blasts were heavy
and in quick succession.
The wireless station tried to commu-
nicate TO the stations to the westward
to get information of conditions IN the
Cook inlet, but the static o,nditlon OF
the atmosphere made it impossible to
work with any of the Alaska stations.
The steamship Mariposa, which ar
rived today from Seattle, reported that
she heard the eruption while between
Caape st, Elias and Cape Hlnchin-
brook. The vessel S wireless was out
of commission. From the distance ash
must have travelled in the air, the
eruption is believed to have been one
of the most violent in the history Of
Alaskan volcano eruptions.

GUSTAVO MADERO
MADE AMBASSADOR

MENICO CITY, June 1.-THE perma-
nent commission OF congress today con-
frmed the appointment OF Gustavo Ma
dero brother OF President Madero, as en-
bassador to Japan in place OF Emilio,
younger brother. who had been pre-
viously designated for that mission. Por-
irio Diaz, Jr., was originally named and
was about TO sail when President Diaz
resigned.
The fact that all three appointees
have been relatives OF the president.
coupled with the insistent talk OF con-
cessions by Mexico TO Japan on tho west
coast, has caused much comment.
Francisco villa, accused OF abuse OF
authority and insubordination. while op-
Grating with General Huerta in the
north, arrived tonight from Jtmenez un-
der a heavy guard. His arrest Is said TO
have been due to the alleged sacking OF
Tlahualilo ranch, his refusal to return
horses and to misappropriation of funds.
Several hundred volunteers organized and
uniformed by Alberto Braniff. wealthy
young Mexican, left for the front today.
They range in age from Il TO 80 years.
