The Texas Method.
A &c.

The president has stopped angling for
the gamy trout and is now devoting all
his time to deer hunting. Yesterday the
dispatches from Saranac, N. Y, stated
that Mr.. Cleveland, accompanied by Col.
Belo Of the Galveston News, INDUCED In
hunt together, the deer being run by
hounds, and the huntsmen taking stand
on the banks of the various ponds where
the antlered monarch OF the forest was
likely to pass. CO... Belo Is an old deer
hunter. He hes chased them up and
down the strand at Galveston and all
around the Beach hotel and other places
where the deer browse, and has shot so
many of them that all his underwear Is
made out of the dressed skins of the
bucks he has slain.
We remember that five or six years age
there was a man who used to loaf around
the beer saloons in Houston, Tex, with q
hat on his head as wide as an umbrella
and on the brim OF which WAS an iascrip.
ton setting forth the fact that he bad
killed 5000 deers. He declared that he
was the champion deer hunter of Texas
and he sported the title with great deal
of pride until Col. Belo heard OF him and
knocked him as cold as chisel by show

necessary to mention Col. Belo's prowess

because there are great many people
who do not know IL. The drive at Sara

Belo In order to show the president bow

way it is done in Texas. II 1t be true thai
( Col. Belo accompanied MIR. Cleveland
then he steered him to quiet spot undel
a shady tree aud invited hum to sit down
informing him at the same time that !
would be several hours before the dee
would come along. After the two hat
seated themselves opposite each other
the chances are Col. Belo took of hi
coat, spread 1t on the ground between
them, and then prepared to instruct thu
president. We wish IL distinctly under

adherence by some policemen to the in

twenty-five TO seventy arrests

There Is nothing very bad about the
metropolis on Sunday after all. There
are plenty of good, and enough sinners

America, but the number is not TO be
