Corbett Committed Suicide Last Night. A Bullet in His Heart Finishes a Young Life—He Had Been in the Asylum. Brooke E. Corbett, a young man about nineteen years of age, who for-some years past has occasioned his family considera- ble worry by his eccentric habits, succeed- ed last night in putting an end to his life by means of a pistol ball. It was the third or fourth attempt he had made to kill him- self. Corbett was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Corbett, and lived with his moth- er at 924 M street. The father is a promi- nent business man of Alexandria, where he makes his home. There is no doubt that the young man was insane when he put an end to his ex- istence, for he has twice been confined in hospitals for the insane, and was only out on furlough from the Staunton Insane Asylum, where he was sent last fall, re- maining there until about the first of De- cember. Prior to that he had been confined at St. Elizabeth’s, where his case is said to have puzzled the physicians. He was quiet and tractable and seemed to have no strong delusions, and was regarded as a model patient. While under confinement he showed no disposition to violence, but was given to brooding when left alone. He returned home from St. Elizabeth’s after having suffered from malaria, and though he attempted no violence with his family, he made threats on several occasions, and once attempted suicide with strychnine, but that time his life was saved. Last summer, while with his father in Alexan- dria, he made another attempt by jumping into the river, but he was rescued by a man who saw him jump, and it was after that attempt that he was sent to the Staunton institution. His First Outbreak. It is something over a year ago that young Corbett made the first violent out- break which showed that his mental con- dition had developed into positive insanity. He coolly announced one day that he in- tended to set his mother’s house on fire, and, following the word with the deed, he began pouri1g kerosene about the parlor and ignited it. Quite a fire resulted, but the firemen succeeded in putting out the blaze before the house was destroyed. On his return from Staunton last fall it was thought that the young man’s condi- tion had taken a turn for the betier, and he himself hoped that the furlough which had been granted him would end in his un- conditional discharge. It is said that for some time past h_ had been brooding over this condition of affairs, and had expressed an intentio. of putting an end to his sus- pense somehow or other. Yesterday a let- ter came from the Staunton asylum, and although it contained nothing but a fur- ther furlough of sixty days, Corbett evi- dently conceived the idea that it was an order for his recall, and then his mania took a more severe turn. It is not known just how or when he secured the revolver, but he evidently had it in readiness when needed. The Fatal Act. Last evening young Corbett dressed him- self carefully after bathing, and saying nothing to his family went up to his room a little before 7 o’clock and locked himself in. A few moments later the sound of a pistol shot was heard and his sister down- stairs, guessing the awful truth, at once rushed out to a neighbor’s house to sum- mon help. She went to the home of Mr. Rex Smith across the street, and Mr. Smith and his son hurried to the house and broke in the door where the young man had locked himself in. They found him lying on the bed with a revolver tightly held in his right hand. Physicians were sum- moned without delay, but there was noth- ing they could do, for long before they arrived the unfortunate youth was dead. He had laid himself out in an easy position on the bed, and, holding the pistol close to his breast, had fired the fatal shot. One was enough, for the bullet had gone straight to the heart. When an entrance to the room was effected the young man’s clothing about the spot where the bullet had entered was scorched and smoldering. The coroner was notified, and after view- ing the remains he decided that an inquest was unnecessary, and thereupon signed the death certificate. The young man’s father was also found and notified of the sad affair. He at once went to the bedside and was completely unnerved by the shock incurred. Mr. Corbett makes his home for the most part in Alexandria, where his business interests are. He is’the president of a fire insurance and a life insurance company and of the Old Dominion Tobacco Company. The young man who ended his life under such tragic circumstances last evening had always been known as eccentric in his w and had little to do with the young peeple with whom he grew up. By nature he was rather delicate and for the most part had shunned society and had made few acquaintances. He spent much of his time alone, sometimes deep in a book, but more often simply dreaming the time away in idle thoughts. For hours at a time he would gaze into the flames of an open fire and seemed to find them a great solace and comfort. After being rather more bright and cheerful he had lapsed into his old ways of late and spefit more time. than ever in the seclusion of his own room. In some ways it was an unfortunate and unhappy life that ended so suddenly last evening, and the young man’s family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintances in their sorrow. = A Sunday Concert. The Sunday concert given under the au- spices of the Father Mathew Total Ab- stinence Society at Society Tempie, corner 5th and G streets northwest, last Sunday evening was quite a success. The hall was crowded by the friends and members of the y and a number were unable to obtain seats. Those who participated in the pro- gram were Prof. Victor L. Poesche, mono- logue artist; Miss Kate Holleran, Miss An- nie Dougherty, John Keating, Miss Blanche Wood, William Brosnan, Daniel Nicholson and William Riley, vocal solos, Miss Nellie Dougherty, piano solo; George Miles, recita- tion; Walter A. Butler, violinist; Mrs. Jo- seph C. Hurley, piano solo, and James Coyle, comic singer, while Miss Jennie P. Wilkinson and Miss Nellie Dougherty ac- companied the singers cn the piano. ——__ Exciting Conflict of Authority. There was a conflict,of authority yester- day at Atlanta, Ga., at the meeting of po- lice commissioners. Mayor King, under instructions from the city council, took the chair. Capt. James W. English, who claims that his term has not expired, re- fused to recognize the mayor as chairman. Commissioners Venable and Branan recog- nized English as chairman, and ignored the mayor, while Commissioners Brotherton and Johnson ignored English and recog- nized King. The mayor ordered the chief of police, Connolly, to seat Venable, who insisted on speaking. Connolly refused, and nearly a faction fight followed. Connolly shouted: “He shall not insult me if he is mayor.” Chief Connolly was finally led from the room by friends and the excitement sub- sided. A hot discussion followed as to who was chairman. This kept up all day and until late last night. The English fac- tion will apply for an injunction restraining Mayor King from acting as chairman. The factional fight is extremely bitter. ——+oo___—_ Why Put of Taking medicine until you are sick?

A nation threatened with war looks about for leaders, and, naturally, turns its eyes to veterans who have fought well in previous contests. So peo- ple attacked by disease and secking a remedy in- quire what has helped them in other years. The grip is bere again, and in some places has assumed @ form more malignant than ever. It will doubt- less prowl about looking for victims until the settled weather of spring. Now, it is @ matter of medical history that when sip was here before it was quickly thrown off by bodies that had been strengthened by a stimulant of the highest order of excellence. To hasten com- plete recovery after the grip Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey was employed. That the same remedy is doing tho same good work today appears from @ letter written by Mr. Thomas Barrett of Seammon, Kansas, who says: “Having been continually coughing, with pains running through my body, and being unable to work, I took two bottles of Dutfy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. Tam now able to work. ‘The cough and soreness on my chest are almost gone.” ‘The cough, headache and soreness of muscle fol- lowing the grip are never helped by local applica- tion.

THE CASE | OF DEBS Acsistant Attorney General Whitney's Ar- gument in Behalf of the Government. He Contends That the Equity Court Had Jurisdiction — Mr. Gregory's Contention for the Applicant. After The Star’s report of the Supreme Court proceedings in the Debs case closed yesterday afterncon, and when Mr. Trum- bull concluded his argument, Assistant At- torney General Whitney followed on be- half of the government. He thought that when the question should be properly as- vertained there would be very little diffi- culty in arriving at a decision. He did not suppose the court would find it necessary to go into the general question of strikes and boycotts, which was an untrodden field for the Supreme Court and involved points on which the courts and the text writers so iar as they had dealt with the matter were divided. The main object of the A. R. organization was to secure ertire con- trol of the railroads of the country. There could hardly be a question that the strike was unlawful in all its aspects, in its at- tempt at boycotting and at controlling by combination the railroad traffic of the coun- try. The real question was as to the juris- diction of a court of equity, and he con- tended that it had in such a case as the present. Judicial Strabismus. Mr. Gregory then followed in behalf of the petitioners. Regarding the jurisdiction of the court below, Mr. Gregory contend- ed that there was none because no federal statute had been submitted under which the case could be considered there, except the anti-trust law, and he characterized he effort to proceed under this law as “a kind of judicial strabismus”’ He re- garded it as significant that the govern- ment had virtually abandoned this law as a ground of proceeding and continuing he asserted that the English chancery courts had never undertaken to enjoin the ob- struction of railroads owned by private corporations, nor had there ever been such a proceeding in any of our stat® courts in this country. In reality this was a pro- ceeding to punish for conspiracy by an equity court and such a course was not allowable in advance of congressional en- actment. Until such enactment, it must be left to the states to deal with these questions for themselves. Mr. Gregory attacked the anti-trust law, devoting himself especially to section 4, which grants jurisdiction to circuit courts in cases of conspiracy, as defined by the law, contending that the principal was in violation of the constitutional guarantees and characterizing it as a change of form which might lead to the loss of civil lib- erty. It was an evasicn of the right to trial by jury. He did not believe that the interests of the people could be promoted by committing them to the guardianship of a chancery court. Mr. Gregory also refer- red to the interstate commerce act, but contended that it was not applicable unless the government had been aggrieved by the proceedings it sought to restrain. He asked the court to proceed with caution in deal- ing with questions involving constitutional rights, saying the right to trial by jury should be maintained,and that without this right civil liberty could not exist. He closed by saying that it is to this court that the pecple look for the vindication and preservation of their constitutional rights. Mr. Walker for the Government. Mr. Edwin Walker, special attorney for the government, made the closing argument of the day. He said that after listening to the arguments for the petitioners, he was at a loss to know what they were contend- ing for. For instance, he had not been able to determine what constitutional right Mr. Gregory had been fearful of losing, and the less of which he had called upon the court to prevent. Mr. Walker asserted-the right of the United States tu invoke the aid of an equity court to suppress a nuisance, and therefore such a court had jurisdiction in this case. He referred briefly to the con- dition of affairs in Chicago, where the ap- peal was made to the circuit court, which was, he said, for protection of the mails and of interstate commerce, and the issu- ance of the writ was to enjoin such inter- ference. He defended the right of the gov- ernment to invoke protection of these in- terests in a court of equity, asserting that such a course is authorized both by the statutes and the decisicns of the courts, Mr. Walker based his argument largely upon the provisions of the interstate com- merce act and upon the right of the go’ ernment to protect the mails. Mr. Waiker concluded with the adjournment of the court at 4 o’clock. Bishop Keane in Chicago. Tonight, at Central Music Hall, Chicago, Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic Uni- versity, will lecture on “The American of the Future.” The lecture is under the auspices of the Columbus Club, and Arch- bishop Feehan will preside. Great interest has been shown in the lecture, and a large audience is expected. A “New Discovery by the Shakers. For more than a hundred years the Mount Leba- non Shakers have studied the cultivation of medici- nal plants and sought to extract from them their healing essences. Their labor has not been spent in vain, ‘They have made a discovery that will prove a blessing to mankind. It consists of a cor- dial that causes immediate relief in cases of indi- gestion. ‘The importance of this discovery will be apparent when we realize that nearly nine-tenths of all our sufferings are caused by dyspepsia or in- digestion. Nearly every person you weet has this digestive trouble in some of its varied forms— sick headache, distress after eating, pain and fall- ness in the chest after eating, palpitation of the heart, ete., are but symptoms of indigestion. To relieve these sufferings has been the study of the Shakers, and they have succeeded. ‘The reason the ker Digestive Cordiat has such an immediate and salutary effect is that it causes the food eaten to be digested, for it is undigested food that causes the distress. The cordial causes the food to be digested before there is time for it to ferment and sour on the stomach. When the food is so digested it s h and vigor to the feeble body, makes one feel bright and checrful, and makes one gain in flesh. ‘The Digestive Cordial is so prompt in {ts action that the very first dose will have a perceptibly favorable result. It gives immediate relict. In order to prove this statement, small trial bottles placed in the druggists’ hands can be ob- ained for 10 cents cach. This trial bottle will ¢ a decided beneficial effect and will satisty one that the Cordial is adapted to bis ease. ial give praise to the Shakers of Mount
