GRAVE DIGGER now A MANIAC.
John McCIOud Uneartbed the Head of
n Body, and the Shock Destroyed
His'Mind.

his mImu.
New Brunswick, N. John McCloud
p year old sexton of St. AIary's Cathola
church, South Amboy, was taken to the
insane asylum al Trenton this morning
a maniac. He was one Of the most vio-
lent patients ever taken to that institu-
ton.
Freeholder Michael Walsh had consid-
cradle difficulty in getting McCIoud to the
train. The train had nearly started when
McCloud became so violent that ii TOOK
four men to hold him. The maniac had
to be bound hand and foot to prevent him
from injuring persons in the car or him
self. II is feared that he will never re-
cover his reason. McCloud was very popu-
lar in South Amboy, and was drum major
Of the St Mary's Drum Corps. He lived
in Church street with his parents, and
was very Industrious and saving He
contributed most of his earnings to the
support of his family.
McClouds insanity was brought on IN
a peculiar way three weeks ago. I'D 70
that time he was bright and cheerful and
spent most of his time looking after the
duties around the church and work in
the cemetery adjoining.
When digging a grave in the cemetery
his spade broke through a coffin. Me-
Cloud was standing shoulder deep in the
hole that he had dug, and when his shade
struck the wooden obstruction he was hor-
rified to see an upturneu face with glar-
ing Open eyes, peering through the broken
boards of the cOffn I'D
McCloud was unable to move, so great
was his horror. He almost tainted from
the nervous shock and it was few mo-
mants before he became calm enough to
ascend from the grave. He at first started
TO leave the cemetery but returned ana
covered up the grave again, which he did
with a great deal of difficulty owing TO
the nervous state he was in. After he had
finished his task he returned to his homs,
and told his family of his strange ex-
perience.
From a gay and lisht-hearted person he
became melancholy and morose. He was
superstitious, and the vision of the dead
face haunted him night and day until his
mind gave way.

The ApOIIinaris Springs Great Ca
pncifY.

THE drinkers of Apolllnaris water may
feel assured of being supplied with their
favorite beverage, while those who have
not yet drunk it need have no fear Of being
sent empty away Careful tests have
been made, which demonstrate that the
existing supply Is adequate for filling
40 million quart bottles yearly. When the
demand is in excess Of these figures then
the Apolinaris Company may have to
sink a second well. 1t is quite clear, how
ever, that the Apollinaris spring yields
enough water not only for present re-
quirements, but also for those OF fu-
ture which is still remote The Times,

gress on Dec. 1, 1928, spoke the patriotic
and statesmanlike words that have been
since regarded as foundation stone OF
national policy and referred to ms the
MONROE Doctrine. Here are President
MoNRoE's words:
1--WE owe il 10 candor and 10 the amicable
relations existing between the United States
aud the allied powers, TO declare that we
should consider any attempt on their part
TO extend their system 20 any portion
OF this hemisphere as dangerous to our
peace and safety With the existing colonies
or dependencies OF any European power we
have not iuterfered. and snall not interfere.
but with the Governments which have de-
clared their independence and main
tained il. and whose independence we have
on great consideration and just prin-
ciples. acknowledged, we could not view an
interposition for depressing them, or con-
trolling in any other manner their destiny,
by any European power, in any other light
than as a manifestation of an unfriendly dis
position toward the United States"
With England browbeating Venezuela
and bullying Guatemala, it is just as
we'll to learn these patriotic sentiments
of JAMES MONROE to reach clear APP
preciation of why it is matter of our
business to interfere should any Euro
pean nation attempt TO oppress or con-
troll in any other manner the destiny Of
or sister republics.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The MONROE Doctrine is an important
graft on the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence. AS every school boy ought to
know the fundamental principles Of our
government as set forth in the great
Declaration, so he ought to be familiar
with the principle laid down by JAMES
MONROE. the position taken by the fifth
President of the United States and re-
garded by government aud people
ever since and without protest as the
keystone of the attitude Of the Ameri-
can nation in its relation with foreign
countries in matters affecting this hemi-
sphere.
The sentiment, which has thus become
permanent expression of our policy,
was uttered al time when the South
American nations had freed themselves
from Spain and established republics,
just as the United States, nearly half
century before, had cast off the yoke of
Great Britain and declared itself n
sovereign power. The Yankee nation
having IN its brief career whipped
England twice and France once. 10 say
nothing OF its exploits at protecting It's
commerce against the North African
pira es and the bringing Of the iar-gway
Agerians TO terms, was recognized as a
first class naval and military power
among nations and had prestige thar
even its strength and resources OF today
can no more than equal. | was due o
the possibility Of an attempt on the part
Of the European powers to reclaim the
free nations OF South and Central
Americas Spain, even SO late as 1866,
sent over an expedition TO reduce Perm
and Chile and make them again Spanish
colonies--that President MONROE in his

HURRAH FOR THE APPLE TREE.

Great is the American apple tree, the
homely growth 50 familiar to us all, to
many so dear, the tree whose product,
when dried and packed, has been rejected
by Ciermany-almost an act of insult to

American apple tree.
Nevertheless tine apple tree will flour
ish in this land of the free and home

plenty of markets for the disposal
of the tooihsome product We

A BUNCH OF ANNIVERSARIES.

Easter Sunday falls on April II, and
a little circular issued by CHARLES
CowLEY, president, and JAMES h.
SHEPARD, secretary" both of Lowell,
Mass, and addressed to the war veterans
''of the Department of the South,
veterans of the South Atlantic Blockad-
ing Squadron, and all who herish the
memories Of the war;" calls attention
to the fact that April IL is particularly
notable as an anniversary day.
1t was on the 14th day Of April, 1861,
that the only fort in Charleston har-
Dor over which. the Federal flag then
few, was surrendered by Major ANDER-
son to the Confederates. JEFFERSON
DAVIS had been inaugurated President
of the Confederacy on the 18th
Of the February preceding. Four
years later, and by picturesque
chance, on February IS, the union mill
tary and naval forces regained posses
sion of Charleston and gave practical
effect to the proclamation of President
LINCOLN, that the burning sun of Caro-
lima should neitherrise upon "A master nor
set upon a slave. Then, on the four
teenth of April, following, by order of
President LINCOLN, the same flag that
was hauled down in '6l was again
unfurled by the same officer over the
ruins of historic Fort Sumter, saluted
10y soldiers, sailors and civilians, by the
firing of 100 cannon aud by the elo-
quence of the greatest preacher of the
age. On that night, before the echoes
Of our Fort Sumter celebration had died
away, the great war President fell by
the pistol of an assassin.
Sunday, April the f4th next, Easter
Sunday, will be the 30th anniversary
of the inspiring acts and the awful
tragedy of April II, 1866, and the
subscribers to the circular referred TO
call on loyal and patriotic people to fit
tingly observe these notable events.
The circular points out sensibly that
" the fact that this interesting anniver-
sary falls upon the same day on which
the Christian world commentaries the
resurrection Of JESUS, in no way conflicts
with our present purpose. The ceebra-
ton of Fort Sumter in 1865 fell upon
Good Friday, and as its character was
religious and patriotic, so will our meet
ings on Easter Sunday be religious and
patriotic; piety and patriotism blending
in eternal harmony"
Indeed preparations for the observ-
ance of the day are already i'll progress
Rev. LYMAN ABBOTT will turn over
famous Plymouth Church IN Brooklyn
for the commemoration, and the pastor
of Berkeley Temple, Boston, will give
his spacious edifice to the patriotic cause.
The Military Order of the Loyal
Legion, the Grand Army of the Re-
public, the National Association of
Naval Veterans, the Regular Army and
Navy Union, the Union Veterans Union
and all other associations of veterans,
and also the Sons of Veterans, in their
several localities, are respectfully invited
TO take all proper steps to secure
proper Observance of the day, and we
should think all these bodies all over the
land would enter heartily into the spirit
Of what is to be so notable on Easter
Day.

REVOLT IN CoREA.
The Queen Killed by the Japanese
Party, the Kings Father Lead
ing the Plot.

4AS shS AShs
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-A special
to the Herald from Seoul, Corea,
says: The palace was broken into
on Tuesday morning by body Of
Corean troops and band OF Japa-
nese Shoshi, in civilian dress. The
colonel in command Of the troops,
on refusing to enter the palace, was
killed and a number OF the palace
guards were Drained. The Japa-
nese entered the queens room and
killed the queen, the minister Of the
household and three women. The
bodies were taken outside and
burned.
The Japanese troops were at the
palace, but took no part in the pro-
ceedings. Tai Won Kun, the kings
father, reached the palace soon
after the assault and assumed the
chief authority. He Is now die
tator and Is known to have been in
the plot. The pro.Japanese party
are in control. Many of the queens
party have been arrested and many
more have fled.
1t is believed that the queen
dowsger was killed last night and
that the king will be forced to alb
dictate.
Guards from the United States
warship Yorktown and a Russian
cruiser at Chemulpo have been Or
dered up.
Great excitement prevails. 1t is
thought that the butchery will
hasten action on the part of Russia.
A later dispatch says: The plot
to kill the queen was made by Co.
rean frieds of Tai Won Kun and an
irresponsible Japanese. The Japa
nese troops were at the palace
gates when the butchery took
place.
The king is now a prisoner, and
his father has been proclaimed die
tator.
A new cabinet has been consti-
tuted OF pro-Japanese elements.
The queens officials have fled or
are hiding.
Appeals have been issued to the
Coreans to rise and expel the Japa-
| nese.
A Japanese sochi has been ar
rested for the murder OF the queen.

Minnesota Fight is Off.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 14.-Gov.
Clough knocked out the Needham.
Moore prize fight announced for
yesterday, and there were several
interesting developments. Fol-
lowing the arrest of Needham Sat-
urday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
Kinney, the promoters Of the fight
got together and decided to call off
the affair. The men could not
fight in public, and as there would
be nothing in it for them to fight
in private they decided not to fight
at all. But this compact was not
made public, and in order to make
assurances doubly sure, the state
officials went ahead today and
arrested the captains, pilots and
engineers Of the boats that were to
take the people to the scene Of the
battle,
