Very comprehensive List of the
sobriquefs Applied to Diff
ferent states.
A correspondent of the New York
Sun has compiled a table of the nick
names of the people of the states OF
the union, which shows that these do
not always follow the nicknames or
the states. The list of the sobriquets
of the inhabitants, so far as he has
been able to compile it, contains some
names not generally known, and is a.
follows:
Alabama, Yellowhammers.
Arkansas, Toothpicks-
California, Gold-hunters.
Colorado, Rovers.
Connecticut, Nutmegs.
Delaware, Muskrats-
Florida, Fly-up-the-creeks.
Georgia, Crackers, also, Buzzards-
Illinois, Suckers.
Indiana, Hoosiers, same as state.
Iowa. Hawkeyes, same as state.
Kansas, Squatters (obsolete), JAY
hawkers, Freesoilers and (derisiyely
during the civil war) Redlegs; also,
Grasshoppers and Sunfowers.
Kentucky. same as state, Bluegrass;
sometimes Colonies.
Louisiana, Creoles.
Maine, Foxes.
MARYLAND Craw-thumpers.

inhabitants have no nicknames.
Virginia, Beadies. (WhyD
Vermont, Green Mountain Boys.
Washington. Chinooks.
West Virginia, Panhandlers.
Wisconsin. Badgers.
To which the Sun correspondent ap-
pends the following comment: Il find
no niclxnames of the states of Idaho or
Wyoming, nor any for their inhabit-
ants. At the time of their admission
10 statehood. in 1890. both were called
Centennial states. Blu. that was be-
cause of the date of their admission
The inhabitants of these two states
doubtless have niclxnames for them
selves and also for their states. but
none appears in any of the authorities
L have consulted. The same is true, no
doubt, of Utah.
kansas -~as the only territory that
had a nickname before il was admitted
10 statehood.

from several Kentuckians that the in
habitants of that state have no nick
name other than that set down above"

TALKING ABOUT A MATCH.
Atlanta SharpshOOters Discussing
One Against Savannah.

Atlanta SharpshOOters Discussing
One Against Savannah.
A dispatch to the Morning News
from Atlanta states that the leading
sharpshooters of the Governors Horse
Guards are talking about the prospect
for a match against a Savannah team,
possibly from the Georgia Hussars. L.
j. Daniel, Adminius Wright, w. G..
Brown and w. F. b. Wilson have made
phenomenal scores on their range.
They were members of a team of five
that was defeated in Savannah little
more than a year ago by the team
from the Georgia Hussars, but the
great record of the Atlanta marksmen
shows improvement. The possible
score, under the regulations, is IT'S. Pri-
vate Daniel made 159, Sergt. Wright
made 1853, Private Brown made 1876,
and Lieut.. Wilson made 1853 All the
scores are remarkable, especially if
out the addition of ten points allowed
for carbineS. Capt. j. c. Postel made
the highest carbine score of 151 on the
Savannah range this season, which,
with the handicap added, would be 16l.
1t is improbable that there will be
any challenge given by a Savannah
team. This is too busy a season for the
team to devote to practice. Besides, it
is very probable that there will be a
state shoot next summer, and there
will then be a chance for the teams to
meet

KINDERGARTENS' EXHIBIT.
One of the Most Interesting Feat
ures of the Art Building.

One of the most interesting exhibits
at the State Fair, and certainly one
OF the most instructive, is that of the
Kate Baldwin Free kindergarten in
the Womans and Fine Arts Building.
The exhibit is just on the left of the
east entrance and directly opposite that
Of the Savannah public schools.
Miss Martha Backus is in charge, as
sisted by Misses Hardee, Anderson,
Pritchard, Spring, Burroughs and
Daniels, all of the local kindergarten
schools. The display in this department
makes very complete exhibition of
the kindergarten work as conducted in
Savannah, and is one of the most at
tractive features of the Art Building.
The work shown is from the five
schools of the city, the Yamacraw kim
cergarten, the Day Nursery, the
Philbrick, which is the only pay kim

work or the children are displayed

The old woman had been i'll for sev-

flames.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the little frame
structure was discovered on fire and
an alarm was sounded from Box q

department answered the call and the
flames were extinguished in a short

house he instructed his men to strain
every nerve in an effort to rescue her.

they shot out of the windows and door.
The search for the woman was kept

CHURCH AND CONSTITUTION.
Discussed by Rev. DIR. I. u. Mendes
in Temple NIicISva Israel.


Rev. DR., I. P. Mendes took as the
subject of his lecture in the Temple
Mickva Israel last night THE Church
versus the Constitution of the United
States" 1t was based upon the recent
act OF the pastor of the Second Re
formed Presbyterian Church of Bos-
ton, who denied to a foreign born ap-
plicant for membership the privileges
of the church on the ground that the
applicant had taken the oath of allie
glance to the constitution of the United
States. which the pastor characterized
as IAN immoral document and an in
suit to Almighty God"
After repeating this Characterization
in fun DR.. Mendes said. LAS far as we
are concerned we must confess to min
gled sensations Of surprise and disap-
pOintment, but as much as we might
desire to arraign the church authori-
ties IN this matter II becomes us for
many reasons to follow unwaveringly
the custom Of OUR pulpit to attack no
sister faith nor to inveigh against the
church OF any land.
Continuing. Dr. Mendes said that an
attack against the constitution Of the
United States filled him with horror.

BLUES WON CLOSE GAME.
Defeated Whites at Indoor Bali b,
Score of II to o.

In a very clever exhibition of indoor
baseball the Blues defeated the Whites
at the Y. NJ. C. A. last night before one
of the largest crowds of spectators
that has yet witnessed any game of
this season. The score was II to Q.
The teams were pretty evenly match
ed and played equally well, several
times during the game being tied on
the number of runs scored. At the end
of the sixth inning the Whites were
ahead by two runs, but after this the
Blues tied the score and, in the eighth,
made the two runs that secured for
them the game, as the Whites were
unable to get a run across the plate
after the sixth.
The Whites did the better batting.
getting four two base hits TO their op-
ponents two, but nevertheless lost the
game on errors, nine being charged
against them to three against their
adversaries. Hayward, who pitched for
the Blues struck out eight men, while
w. II. Doty of the Whites struck out
five.

REGARDS FAIR A SUCCESS.
Views of Mr.. Fl. ii. Cabaniss on Sa.
Vannah's Enterprise.


vannah's Enterprise.
Mr.. H. H. Cabaniss is delighted with
what he has seen of the Georgia State
Fair, and thinks it in many respects
superior to the Interstate Fair that has
recently closed its gates in Atlanta.
Il was greatly pleased" he said,
that the State Fair promises so sue
cessfully. The exhibits are fine The
displays in the Woman's building are
better than those at Atlanta, as are
als0 the agricultural exhibits 1t is a
great object lesson to make a display
of what the farms will produce. 1t
goes to show one man what another
can do, and the first is thus encouraged
to diversity his crops and so get better
results.
Il have devoted a great deal of time
to the study of the agricultural situa-
ton, and have noticed that every year
shows an increase in the supplies, such
as potatoes, onions and the like, sent
from the farm to central markets. Not
nearly so much of these products are
row being bought outside the state as
formerly. and there ought and will be
less year by year. These exhibits of
agricultural products encourage the
farmers to grow their own supplies,
and to have something over for sale to
other parties. I predict that the Fair
WI be great financial success, and
viii we'll repay Savannah and her citi-
zens for the trouble and expense TO
which they have been put.
The day has been most agreeable
spent by the editors Mr.. Cabaniss
continued "Such lavish entertainment,
such generous hospitality as was ex-
tended us by Col. Estill, is rarely wit
messed. His summer home is a place
of rare beauty and attrac-
tiveness. Its spacious grounds
afforded fine opportunity for such an
entertainment, and ideal weather
conspired to make the day delightful.
"Col. Estill was for twenty years
president of the Georgia Press Asso-
citation and a large number Of the
newspaper publishers of Georgia have
been in the business for a period ex-
tending back into his term. He greatly
endeared himself to these and enjoys
the confidence and esteem, of, every one
of them. They responded to his invita-
ton more generally than they would
have done to any other. There was per-
haps hundred newspapers represent
ed and this is evidence that their edi-
tors came to Savannah largely on ac-
count of their personal affection for
ColS Estill Savannah knows the charm
of hospitality better perhaps than any
other city in the Union.
