The (seOrpia Girls,

Says the Macon Teicgdph: "If it is
really true that Grover Cleveland wants to
marry, he should come to Georgia and look
about him before making a selection else
where. The Georgia girl is finely formed,
straight, true MS STEEL tender-hearted and
takes her beauty fresh from the hand of
that kindly nature that surrounds her.
When she weds she honors prince, poten-
tate or private citizen, and whom she will
she wcds. We simply propose to put him
in the way to work out his own salvation.
Honors, power and titles will avail him
nothing, for the Georgia girl is not a Mug
wump flirting with first one party and then
another. She follows her heart and stick
eth closer than brother War cannot
shake her off, pestience disturbs her not,
misfortune but tightens her grip, and pov-
erty she laughs at. The man who marries
typical Georgia girl and continues to be
man has wife for all eternity. This is the
situation. II Grover is looking for that
kind of girl, let him come down and take
his ChanCes.n -

uuCIK NAVAL WORK.

What can be done when it Is found
necessary to have it done and when all
the appliances are at hand for having
it well done ana done quickly is nota-
bly, illustrated in the case Of the new
stcel-built, turreted and armor- plated
ram Hero, recently launched at Chat
ham, England.
This vessel Is of G2O0 tons and in
all respects the most powerful and com
pletc in her appointments OF any ship
of similar character in Her Maiesty's
Navy. Her steel armor is twelve to
fourteen inches in thickness, and her
formidable armament consists of two
12-inch brccch-loading 43.ton guns in
the turrct, four G.inch S9-huudrcd
weight brcech-loading guns seven
G-poundcr quick firing guns, one 9
FOUNDER boat gun, two 5-pounder boat.
guns, one 0-poundcr lield.gun, as well
as seven one.inch four. barrel Norden-
felt guns and two 4j-inch 5-barrcl
Gardner guns, Her twin.scrcw engines
are of G,000horsc power.
The most remarkable thing about the
Hero, however is that her keel plates
were laid only so long ago rs the 2lst
of April, 1884, and in eighteen months
afterward the vessel was ready to
launch-a dispatch unprecedented in
the history of English naval construc-
tion.
With similar appliances at hand and
the necessary appropriations to draw
on, new American navy could be
built in much less time than is gener-
ally supposed, but it will be many
years before the United States can com
pete with the mechanical resources of
the English Government in respect to
The building of steel war.ships, unless
Congress is speedily reused to the i'm
portance of establishing plants of like

WASHINGTON, d. O., Oct. IA reporter
of the Associated Press called upon Com

special rule made by the President to-day.
"Was that rule" asked the reporter,
made on the recommendation Of the
Commission 2"
Mr.. Eaton-'It was"
"How long had this subject been under
consideration W
Mr.. Eaton-"I cannot answer definite.
". have drafts of the rule on the subject
made in August before left Washington
for my vacation. The matter was much
discussed by the Commission"
"What object will the rule serve"
ut will take off the registers for certif-
cation those Of lower grades than sppli-
cants who have received appointments.
1t can hardly be said that It will give
those To be hereafter examined any better
chances for getting appointments, because
everyone is certified for appointment
on a basis OF his grade aud re-
gardless Of the time Of his examination.
In other words, the best OF those on any
new examination are sure to be pushed
higher than those left from former
examination after the superior ones
have been appointed; and in more re-
cent examinations those competing are
decidedly superior to those who competed
at earlier examinations. The change nov
will prevent the ill-informed from think
ing that persons examined more than a
year ago are reduced in registers in order
to give them place" Fl
