SAILOR GIRLS IN new YORK There
is something odd In the idea Of a class If
New York girls starting in TO learn he
artistic part of sailor work. Whether
. this IS sladOw cast before by the com
r inr female yachlsman, IL IL too early 10
say. II is reported that the girls who
took the first lesson last night were
. taught bow to make a short splice, a long
splice, and a manr0pe knot
This sort OF nautical information may
be all very well in its way, but there are
short spices and long spices that have
nothing TO do with ships, but upon
which depends the happiness or I'M
happiness OF those who tie them. The
marriage splice is the thing every
American girl should know how TO tie
properly "a neither il il a long splice or
a short spice makes all the difference in
the world -Nln FORK HeraN
The LOAvEs AND FIsHEs.--lt will be
observed that. in reversal of the practice
of his immediate predecessor, the Presi-
dent seeks TO make the Senators Of his
party sharers in the appointing power.
Mr.. Harrison has been in the Senate
himself, and knows how far he may 90,
and how far the Senators think he ought
10 90 in recognizing their claims TO be
consulted
1t was the habit Of Mr Cleveland to
appoint men TO office on his own respon-
,ibilitv after examinations into the quail
locations of the appoiniees, in which the
advice of Senators was rarely sought

ON THE SAMOAN QUESTION The
views of Admiral Porter upon the Sa-
moan question, as lclegraphed from
Washington, confirm the general opln-
ion that the chances for war with Ger
many are exceedingly remote. He is OF
the opinion that the recent rumOrs have
emanated from the foreign office in Ber-
lin, and are intended 10 test public SEN
timent both in Germany and the United
States upon the international interests
involved il the controversy -Ball.mors

q simple acquittal is not enough. Justice
