TEACHERS ARE ON THE WAY.
First Delegation From Chicago to
Arrive Tonight.

The first detachment of the Chicago
teachers. when VIII stop over in savan-
nah enroute 70 the convention of the Ma
tional Educational Association at
Charleston, will reach the city at
o'clock tonight by the Atlanta train. This
party numbers forty-fve and consists of
members of the Chicago Teachers FEEDER
alton. They will spend Sunday in the
city, and will leave for Charleston Mon
day morning.
The Chicago Teachers Club. accom-
panied by a Wisconsin delegation. will
reach the city in a special Of six sleepers
Sunday morning. They will spend the
day here and leave for Charleston Mon
day at noon. An Arkansas party is also
expected and there may be small parties
from other states.
No arrangements have been made 40
show the teachers any special attention
here. The Central Railroad is having
printed and will distribute on the train
pamphlets containing information about
Savannah and a list of places of interest
which the teachers are likely TO desire
to visit Special rates for the visitors
have been secured from the hotels, and a
special rate will be offered by the Central
to Tybee for those who desire to make
that trip.
Supt. Ashmore spent some time yester-
day with District Passenger Agent Fred
j. Robinson of the Central in preparing
a schedule of Information concerning Sa-
vannah to be printed and distributed
among the teachers Supt. Ashmore said
that he had arranged for special rates
al the hotels and conferred with the rail-
road men as to arrangements and infor-
nation. AS the teachers are simply sight
seeing, he did not feel that the local
teachers and citizens were called upon to
go to any special effort or expense for
their entertainment. This has not been
the case at other places where Mr.. Ash
more has accompanied such excursions,
and he does not think the visiting teach
ers will expect 1t here.

MORE BY WORDS THAN DEEDS.
The Shirt sleeve brigade Not Re
mnrkabIe for Its Numbers.

The agitation for the "Shirt Sleeves
Brigade" instituted by the Morning News,
has been the subject of much approving
comment in the last few days. The APP
proval has been manifested, however, by
words rather than by deeds and but a
comparative few have had the courage to
throw off their coats and the trammels
of custom at the same time.
Nowhere is there any evidence OF a feel
ing Of dissent from the proposition that it
is all right for a man, otherwise suitably
attired, TO go without his coat. A negli-
gee shirt a neatly-fttiug pair of trousers
and belt are conceded to be the essen
tials of outward wear for a man during
the summer season But very few have
manifested their faith by their works
awaiting in eagerness the appearance Oh
the streets of some considerable number
of their brethren before they will them
selves take the plunge from custom and
cdloric TO freedom and comfort
1t is evident that the originators of the
project are not working the scheme for
anything like what il is worth ana that
1t remains for some benevolenuy inclined
individual, anxious to promote the health
and happiness Of his fellow men. to get
up an agreement and circulate II for sig
natures A large number could undoubt-
sdly be secured without any trouble

ENTITLED TO THE PREMISES.
Jury in Eviction Case Found In Fa-
vor of the Defendant.

The trial of the case of Eva Belle Wimpy
and Mary Houser against J. W. Teeple
was concluded in the Superior Court yes
terday morning, the jury rendering YER
dict in favor of the defendant. The jury
found that the defendant had not violated
his contract of lease with the plaintiffs
and was entitled to retain possession OF
the premises.
The plaintiffs had sworn out dispos
sessory warrant against the defendant re-
citing that he had leased from them the
store and premises used by him in the con-
duct of the furniture business at an
agreed yearly rental, which was to be
paid in monthly instalments; that he had
defaulted in the payment of two of these
instaments, and having thus violated the
conditions of the lease, had been notified
to yield possession of the premises This
Mr.. Teeple had refused to do.
The defendants answer to the petition
averred that he had not violated any term
of the contract. On the contrary, he said,
he had entered into a contract with the
agent of the plaintiffs TO rebuild the store,
which had been destroyed by fire, for the
sum of $l700, of which amount he had
only been paid $1,000. This left the plain
tiffs still $500 in his debt and for that
reason he mad refused TO pay the monthly
instaments of rent as they became due.
Mr.. w W. Osborne concluded his argu-
ment to the court and jury yesterday
morning on behalf of the defendant. and
Mr.. w c. Hartridge concluded for the
plaintiff. Judge Falligant charged the
jury and it retired, to bring in a verdict
for the defendant.
Since the suit was first instituted the
defendant has refused to pay other install
ments of rent as they became due, and
there is now due an amount In excess Of
the $500 which he claims the plaintiffs owe
him for the rebuilding of the premises. 1t
is understood that the plaintiffs will be
rendered the amount of this excess only
and that in case the tender Is refused an
other action at law will be necessary to
collect the rent.
