Why They Stay At Home.

AT one of the Carthage churches
Sunday night the pastor read to an
unusually large congregation an
swers to his question AS to why
men do not attend church. There
were fourteen answers, given by
lawyers, merchants, doctors, news
paper men, mine operators and
others of the city, and there was
a general agreement on the prop
osition that absorption in business
affairs, and a resulting demand for
mental rest on Sunday was what
keeps men away. Two answers
gave neglect of early training, one
said want of faith, one said skep-
ticism, and one that the sermons
were not broad and liberal enough
AS to the kind of sermons that these
men demand, there was general
agreement that they would want
practical, up-to-date sermons,
touching current events and affairs
of immediate interest, as opposed
te the scholastic and metaphysical
efforts. Other adjectives used in
describing the desired sermon We're
plain, brief, tangible, uplifting,
good, gospel, etc. All the fourteen
correspondents, many of whom are
not churchgoers, acknowledged II
high regard and deep respect for
Christ, the Bible and the church.

CHICAGO. ILL, August 4.-The govern
ment suit against the alleged beef trust
was sent a step forward here to-day by
the filing in the United States Circuit
Court of demurrers OF the defendants,

demrrrers set up at considerable length
that the complaint, upon which an in
junction is asked, is insufficient. It is
maintained that the suit is multifarious.
and, ii allowed to stand. would tend to
coneest the business Of the court.
In specific terms the demurrers assert
.that so much OF the bill Of complaint
as asks a discovery of the several inter-
ests of the defendants and their busi-
-uoss methods has not stated such case
as would entitle the complainant to the
relief prayed for.
The effect of the filing of the demur-
rers is technically to admit all the allie
rotions charged in the bill of complaint.
;rhe argument advanced in support OF the
hackers position is that. admitting the
truth OF the charge. no srt1cie mt grounds
have been shown for the Issuance of the
ne t:tioned writ. The Instrument was
signed by John S. Miller, counsel for all
