One of the events of thu week
is the violent death of Editor
Brann of the Iconoclast, the
Waco, Texas newspaper that
eprang into %notoriety from
the writings of a more caustic
pen than the author of the
famed "Junfus letters" He
was shot down by Colonel Tom
Davis who was also killed
by a shot from Brann's pistol.
Braun was followed to his
grave by a procession three
miles long and contained over
ten thousand people. A special
to the Chicago Inter Ocean
from one who know him we'll,
says of Brann:
1.-THE dead editor would have teen a re-
mstkable person IN any community or
country. he possessed a w.nderfulI alert
brain and q remarkable memesy. He had
received no o0liegi ,te training whatever.
and is said to have been a rnllroad brake
man when hs struck Texas. yet the myth
ologiss of the Greeks and Romans were a.
his fingers ends, md he would quote
Homer, Horace, Virgil, Ovid, Catuilus, and
Cicero by the yard. He was apparently
learned in Egyptian lore, referred to Hin.
do works with an easy confidence, and his
mind was stored with copinn. extracts
from the literatures of France, Germany
Italy, and Spain. He had read all these
thiugs in t~asalation aud nver fOrgot. In
person he was tall and thin, rot muscular
in any way, with a clean shsven ascctic
face, and a slight stoop. Hemuch resem-
bled the common ideal Of an overworked
and underfed Catholic priest. which gave
rise to tho statement that he was Il Jesuit
He was not even a member of the Roman
church and died without the cancellations
of any established religion. He was, how
ever o. q deeply religious nature and
worshiped his W conception of the God
head in his own manner. He val moi at all
combative-out of prlnt-and with the
exception Of the Breaker affair in San An
tonic, which was more Of a joke than any
thing else, had no personal encounters in
Texas or out Of it until ths pull cation of
his fatal Baylor article. Writing with a psn

A Submarine Terror.
ct. Paul irnoeer Press.

1t is encouraging that we
have added to our means of ag-
gression and defense so for
midable a weapon as the sub
marine torpedo boat Holland,
which made it's trial trip a few
days ago; and which,, diving
like a fish, travelled for eighteen
miles deep down under water.
where no observer could see or
keep track of her course. She
carried a full complement OF
men and demonstrated her
ability to remain submerged
four hours at a time, at any
depth desired up to seventy
feet, without injury or incon-
venience to her crew, while
moving at the rate of eight
miles an hour. A companion
vessel of the same order, with
some Improvements, is under
stood to be approaching, COM
pletion. Before a few. engines
like this, armed with torpedo
tubes from which the deadliest
projectiles can be discharged
against a battleship's bottom,
while her assailant remain un-
seen, the mightiest fleets of
Europe could send to our
shores must quail and retreat.
And the mere information that
we have at our command such
formidable means of defense
will of itself suffice to give
pause to any notion having a
to .assail us.
