 Tothe Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Last evenings papers containing certain remarks in relation to my place of business and saying that I kept my billiard parlors open on Sunday, beg leave to state that my billiard saloon is never open on Sunday, but that at 12 o'clock Saturday night I shut my doors and cover up my tables.
 The room in which the arrests were made on Sunday last has nothing to do with my parlors, save being on the same floor, but was hired by club of young men known as the ''Adelphi club,'' who ran it to suit them selves, I only taking care of the room.
 l invite any and all to my parlors and feel sure that any one no matter how prejudiced, cannot say that my business has a demorai- zing effect on young men, not one drop of intoxicating liquors being sold by me or al- lowed on my premises. My desire is to keep such place that parents will be willing to have their sons frequent it.
 wish to add that the residence of myself and wife is on the same floor, and I certainly have the right to remain uninvaded in my private apartments. CHARLES H. MILLER.
