To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal.
May / the columns or your valuable paper
to express my disgust and the disgust am sure
of hundreds of others. at the methods employed
by Christian minister in this city as reported
in the Journal yesterday morning It Is often
said that are getting away from the mar
row, horrible beliefs of the dark ages that our
creeds are becoming broader and more humane
Christianity more real and hopeful And
just when congratuiating ourselves on
the fact that the world is moving onward toward
saner, better things, we are discouraged by such
talk as heard in an indianapolis church
Friday night. A sensational evangelist shouted
these words at an intelligent audience:
Before the throne of Almighty God I'll witness
against you and wash my hands OF your damnabIe
guilt IL you pass out OF these doors tonight IN
saved. If you hesitate tonight you'll be .
in the pit Of hell tormented by thousand devils
Think, think! Do you want to be in such a
place."
If this sort of yellow rubbish is religion. is
it wonder there are so many who stay
away from church? certain brand Of preachers

INDIANAPOLIS March :
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1904-03-06

The season of the year is at hand when
people begin to clean up their grounds and
beautify their lawns. There seems to be a
sort of instinct in the matter, something
that moves people to welcome the approach
of spring by removing the accumulated
rubbish of a long winter and putting trees
and shrubbery in a presentable shape to
welcome her. The time is about due now
when all over the country in towns and
villages persons are seen raking together.
collecting and burning the remains of last
years growth and making ready for that
of this year. Spring is the real beginning
of the new year. 1t is then that we ring
out the old and ring in the new. 1t is
then that the sluggish sap begins to be-
stir itself for the summers campaign; it
is then that nature begins to wake up.
live things to come out of their alternating
places seemingly Hfeless buds to swell,
birds to get new move on them, hens
to resume their neglected duty of laying
eggs, grass to grow green while you wait,
wild flowers to spring up almost under
your feet, fishes and small boys to seek
the early worm-in short, It is the season
when nature revives and resumes business
at the old stand.
Just now there is a new movement in
this city to promote the beautifying of
lawns. front yards and parks. As the
Woman's Local Council and the Commercial
Club are cooperating in the work there
ought to be at least beginning of visible
results in the way of lawn culture and
landscape gardening on Il small scale. Few
cities surpass Indianapolis In these re-
spects. but long there is room for
Improvement or progress it should be
sought after. If property owners can be
once imbued with a spirit OF generous rival
ny and civic pride in this regard valuable
results may follow.
A statement issued by l.. C. COrbett, the
dustry at Washington. contains some sug-
gestions on the subject that may be
utilized. He emphasizes the fact that the
first requisite of beautiful lawn is an
even stand of grass of a uniform color
kept closely mown. He regards Kentucky
blue grass as the best of all for lawns, and
as that grows well in this latitude and soil
one need not look further. As 10 the
general arrangement of trees he says they
should stand either as single specimens in
isolated positions. or in irregular groups
rather than in long rows. Shrubs should
be chiefly in groups or belts rather than
as specimen plants. The groups should not
be OF large numbers of the same variety,

Christian and Pagan.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The people of Japan have always been regarded
by Christian nations as pagans-a people who wor-
ship idols and images. On the contrary, Russia
is considered Christian nation. very jealous in
the observance OF the rules OF the orthodox Greek
Church. From information gathered through the
newspapers since the war began the reader can
only conclude that the forms of worship by the
people of both nations very similar. Very
recently the newspapers printed a picture OF
the Japanese god of war This statue the Jap
anese people evidently regard with great venera-
ton. and TO IT they invoke assistance when going
10 battle with their enemy. The newspapers also
print picture of sacred image that is 10 ac-
company the Russian army to the far East. This
image is regarded by the Russians from the
highest to the lowest with and veneration.
and to IL their prayers said for assistance
and guidance. The question very naturally
arises. which is pagan and which is Christian?

THE OLDEST MAN.

A man died at Piscataway, n. J., few
days ago who was probably the oldest per-
son in the world at the time of his death.
He was born on April 1. 1772. and would
therefore have been 132 years old had he
lived till next April 1. The date of his
birth was not established by documentary
evidence, but ii had been accepted as true
for many years past by those who knew
him. and he was able to recall so many
historical incidents which happened con-
siderably more than a hundred years ago
that there seemed to be no doubt that he
stated the date truly.
The case will figure in the records OF
longevity as one of the most remarkable.
There have been hundreds, probably thou
sands, of instances of persons passing the
century mark, but the number of those
who have lived more than a few years
longer than that is small. The average
duration of human life is about thirty
three years, though it is somewhat greater
in this country than in Europe. An Eek
pectation table" constructed for the use of
insurance companies in New York and
officially adopted by that State shows that
of 100000 persons aged ten years 749 die
the first year. OF the remainder 746 die the
next year. Following up the deaths each
year until all die it is ascertained that the
average age to which member of the
10000 group survives is forty-eight and
seven-tenths years. Though many die
sooner, that is the expectation OF life for a
person at the age of ten years. After that
they die more rapidly. AT the age of sixty
years there are left 57,917 of the original
10000; at seventy-five years there are 26,-
2S7; at eighty, 14,474; at ninety. SAT, and at
ninety-five only three and these die in that
year. According to this expectation table
not one person in 10000 lives beyond nine
ty-five years.
There are quite a number of well au-
thenticated cases of persons living several
years beyond the century mark, but every
year beyond that brings increasing infirm-
ity and greatly increased chances of death.
Probably there have not been within the
historic period as many as dozen persons
sey man. His name was Noah Raby. He
was born in North Carolina and lived many
years in Virginia. He served as a sailor
on the old Constitution and the Brandy
wine and was honorably discharged from
the navy in 1900. He first saw George
Washington at public meeting at York
town, Va, and afterwards heard him speak
at Portsmouth. He smoked and chewed
tobacco from the time he was ten years old
till his death, and was a moderate drinker
all his life. He was never in love but
once. and got over that attack by going
to sea. He never married His recipe
for longevity consisted OF series of
''don'ts." eff you want to live to good old
age" he would say, don't get married,
don't get scared, don't get worried, dom
get too much work, don't get into fights,
and don't get drunk too often"

Chance for An Inventor.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal.
/ want to make a suggestion In hope of its
catching the eye of someone interested in the
manufacture Of envelopes. In my business am
obliged to address many envelopes daily, and for
this purpose 1 use a typewriter. Now every
body knows that a typewriter will not address
envelopes perfectly This is not the fault Of
the machine but the envelopes Ever since
typewriters came into common use this fact has
been noticed. and yet manufacturers have con-
tinued to make envelopes in the same, stupid
old way, with four thicknesses of paper about
the middle where all the flaps meet and where
the address is written. The lap-overs are about
a quarter of an inch wide. leaving hills and
hollows for the types to strike a little
common sense ought to teach manufacturers that
it is not at all necessary to fold envelopes as
they were folded fifty years ago. Get out of
the rut. Is no one ingenious enough to invent
an envelope that be addressed easily by ma
chine? Here's a fortune for inventor.
