committee, were these>gentlemen disqual- flied as clergymen along with me for be- ing my aiders and abettors, after the fact. in the techinal violation of canon? Did moral cowardice or lack of intelli- gence on the part of such men as Hon. Marcellus Green, Capt. W. W. Moore, Judge l.. Brame and Judge w. C. Mar tin( lay members of the committed lead them in the case of an outraged canon to suppress action and at the same time to suppress my good standing as a clergy man in the Protestant Episcopal church2 ?
 Did you mean to imply such a thing in your letter to Bishop Beckwith, pub lished so gleefully by Dr. Cobbs? And, apart from what you meant, will you give it as your opinion that there Is any thing in the said letter which warranted the conclusion on the part of a reasonable human being, that you did not regard me as "qualified clergyman" or that I ought not to be regarded as such?
 Wants Question Answered.
 This is the question I want you to an- swer as publicly as possible. And again I beg you not to confuse it with another namely, the right of bishop to decline to accept a letter dimissory not in the precise suggested words of the canon. This latter question Dr. Cobbs has striven right valiantly to inject into the eontro- versy he forced on me. I have as ef- fectively as possible baked his effort. At the risk of wearying your patience, l repeat that the Rev. Dr. Cobbs has pub licly and repeatedly charged me with not being "a qualified clergyman of this church." October 1. 1903 He has de- clined to retract his charge and shifts responsibility for it from himself to you. His claim is that he only wrote publicly what you wrote privately. He cannot re- tract without contradicting you. You told the truth in letter to Bishop Beck with, and he has only told the truth you told in letter-in the newspaperl
 This is the gist of Dr. Cobbs contention Are you willing and prepared to sanc- tion il?

 In conclusion Right Reverend Sir, 1t is not from choice, but on the ground of moral necessity, that I address you this open letter. Such necessity, think needs not to be more clearly defined than I have already defined it. If it does. I will add that the people of the Church of the Ad- vent whom I serve as their rector, and other citizens of Birmingham and Ala bama. have the right to know if was. indeed, not "a qualified clergyman of this church." less than a year ago. by reason either of "error in religion or viclousness of life:" and it is my bounden duty to furnish them the knowledge they have the right to, If I can.
 In a private letter to pr. Cobbs dated July 1, I expressed the hope that he would not make the retraction I had de- manded in such a way as to cast a seri- ous reflection upon either the wisdom. or the courage. or the good faith. of Bishop Bratton." He has chosen instead of mak- ing retraction to repeat his charge, and he has told me and the public that he was simply echoing Bishop Brattonl
 think this letters excuse for being is sufficiently established. Yours respect fully, QUINCY EWING.

CT and a member of the Forum club, has succeeded in training butterflies.
 At first the idea seems almost absurd. but if one can see the way Miss Aver handles her pets 1t seems the most na- tural thing in the world. In speaking of them today Miss Aver said:
 Why. 1t doesn't seem at all strange to me. They are just like any other trained pet. They have their likes and dislikes and they are really lovabie little things when you come 10 know them.
 sThe first thing that started me to studying them was when l was asked to deliver a lecture before the Forum club. 1 chose for my subject Butterflies and Rainbows.' and wishing to give some th.ng more than could be learned from books, l went into the garden and cap tured one or two of the butterflies. The more l studied them the more l loved them and now they are almost like people to me. is4A1
 When l first get one I uncoil his tongue and feed him with sugar and water, and the rest-why, I don't know they just come to know me, that's all You know, the butterfly has six legs, and the two front ones he uses to wash his face and preen himself, much as a cat would.
 
 '"They live on sugar and water, and always keep plenty of flowers in the room for them. One big fellow called Morn ing Cloak was unable to do anything with. He seemed to have no affection. They are sensitive, and nervous tempera- ments affect them always. Some of them are quite playful, and two or three would run after. and try to catch the end of .a sticxpin when l drew it in front of them.

New York. July 16.--Now that all dan ger of weddings may said to be over for the present, and since no one couio be 90 inconsiderate as to ask friends to journey about to attend nuptial cere- monies in such hot weather or later than the Fourth of July and there is nothing more alarming than an engagement to be feared there is quite a rush of exhausted families on the outgoing steamers. A glance at the passenger lists of the yes- sels sailing this week would seem to in- dcate as much of an exodus as ever, though one hears much to the contrary. many of the dwellers on the Hudson, Tuxedo, Morristown and in the vicinity of New York, have migrated to South ampton, Newport. Narraganset, Bar Har- bor and the New England coast. The sea- son at these places may be said to have fairly begun. Until September sends this crowd back to the mountains for time, the usual chronicles and doings of the above resorts will be in vogue.
 Newports gayeties are well started, and the list of dinners, luncheons, etc, grows apace, though the more elaborate entertainments which are promised in the way of balls, etc.. are not scheduled un- til August when Mrs. Astor will return to this side of the water. The croWnlng efforts, however, will be reserved proba- bly, for the expected foreign notabilities, among whom are the Bayarian princes, who are to return the end of this month, and one if not two, ducheSes.

Few Casino Opens.

Narragansett opened it's new Casino un- der the Sherry management on the Fourth of July, and already many of the well known names of the former habitues of the Pier are among the list of cottagers and visitors There is every indication of a return of the good old days which earned for Narra gansett in its palmiest times the title of American Trouvlle. The Country club at Narragansett opened under very favorable auspices and there will probably be the usual polo and pos- sibly a revival of the tennis matches at the Casino. The annual cruise of the New York Yacht club in August will no doubt bring even larger number than usual to the Pier. The Philadelphia and Baltimore contingents promise to be well represented and the accessibility of Newport by way of Saunderstown and Jamestown ferries, which makes a trip to the Pier by automobile a short and agree able diversion, has induced many New Workers to make Narragansett their head quarters for a month or six weeks.

Lawn Tennis Popular.

Lawn tennis will be more popular than ever here this season as is indicated by the demand for courts at the Casino each morning. Golf seems to be a lost art among the cottagers and the nine hole course which has been opened for the benefit of those who still play the Scotch game is receiving very little patronage.
 Four of the young women-Miss Anita Sands Miss Mary Sands, Miss Edna Bar ger and Miss Dorothea Potter-are giving very fine exhibitions of lawn tennis at the Casino daily, aud Miss Maude Wet more and Mrs. Barger- Wallach are also playing a snappy game Next week there will be a tournament of women's doubles played here that Is sure to attract con- siderable attention as society folk who delight in sports are much in evidence here this season.
