The Age of Mammon.

Money-making is the axis around
which the worlds activities revolve.
This is nothing new, adds Golfers 8
Weekly, but probably it was never 80
true as it is to-day. On every side we
see evidences that the world is in a
sort Of fever Of acquisition. Wealth
getting hss become passion. The
public press is filed with gossip about
the great money-makers and tbsir
methods. Enormously rich men are
held Up as models. The acquisition
of wealth IL set before our eyes every
day and every hour as an example Of
success. The Pierpont Moryans, the
Henry G. tricks, the Schwabs, Carne.
gics and Hills are the modern ideals
Of our youth. Nor is this all. Science
and art are becoming more and Tore
tho mere hand-maidens Of industrial
ism. Our greatest scientific men are
devoting their energies, not to pure
science, not to their noble profession
in its abstract or elementary form,
but to those applications of it which
! result in some new economy ee the
worlds work and in the formation Of
more immense stock companies, with
bonds and common and preferred
shares, dividends, and all the para
phernalia Of modern financial opera
tions on big scale. The men who
love science for science sake are Civ
ing way to tho Edisons, Teslas. Trip.
lers, Pupins, Marconis, those wizards
who by day and by night seek to wress
from nature some new and commer
oially profitable service to mankind.
The number Of patents taken out al
Washington steadily increases, not
withstanding the predictions made moi
long ago that American inventiveness
had reached its high tide. This il
the age of materialism and Of nam

Twia Brothers so Alike They Separated

1.-The remarkable Burgess twins, of
Auburn, N. Y, whose identity baffled
even the Bertillon system until few
telltale scars we're found, have deoid-
ed they look soo much alike TO live in
the same town" says the New York
Tribune. According to their own
s:c:Jy, uo QUO Uau tell them apart but
they themselves. and even they ct
times ind this hard to accomplish. AS
if to make the resemblance still closer
the mother Of the twins gave them
names which are almost identical.
They were christened Reg snd Reg.
They are now II yoars old. Ray and
Roy Burgess during their early child
hood we're indistinguishable except to
their mother, who held the clews Of
their identity in certain small marks
and twists of hair. The main charac-
terists of featur, and form TO which
the great majority of mankind owe
their individuality in appearance are
exactly similar in the Burgess twins.
Both have dark brown hair, gray eyes,
slightly aattened noses, moderately
thick lips, long ears and rounded chins.
In weight Roy has had the advantage
at several different times, although at
present both weigh exactly IA pounds.
Both are 5 feet 9 inches tall. While
children the twins enjoyed their sim
ilarity and played all sorts of pranks
on thejz fellows. Having left school
to enter business, however, they have
found that their lack of individuality
is Of great annoyance and even injury.
All kinds of mistakes are made by a
debtor stopping the wrong twin on the
street to pay him ora creditor run
ming down the other one who owes no
one. In consequence the twins de-
cided to separate, and last week Eoy
went TO the town Of Keene, N. H.,
where he expects to enjoy the novel
experience Of having an identity of
his own. Ray remains in Auburn.
although he has also planned to &c
where he will have the use Of his own
individuality. By staying in Auburn
he is still mistaken for his brother by
his brother friends, who believe the
latter may have returned on visit.
Before Roy's departure for New
Hampshire the twins were measured
! according to the Bertilion system at
the Auburn prison. The system
proved successful in distinguishing
them only because of the discovery Of
| few scars"

The Courage Of a Yankee at Mayre's
iiill in 1862.

Hill in 1862.
To the Editor of The Atlanta Jour
nal:
l do not wish to make such use of
your columns as will tire you and tho
public with my contribution ON Con-
fodorate memories, but l feel that all
of my experience in that line are the
property of my fellow.countrymen,
and the just inheritance of their chill
dren.
If knew Of anything which is worth
relating and recording. I feel that I
have the privilege with my comrades
Of putting it on record, so that it will
be preserved.
This time l wish to give an exper-
ience which the boys in "blue" can
read and not feel :blue!"
What we have been furnishing them
to read has left them "wrapt in the
solitude Of their emotions" ;"
While I am proud Of the Confeder-
ate soldier and his deeds, and place
these memories first in my love and
affection, I am willing to tote "fair'
with the yanks, and give them credit
for some things other than "bum-
ming"
The Yanks who fought us at Mayre &
hill in December, 1862, had pluck and
lots Of it, and I wish, if possible. to
immortalize the courage Of private
Yankee soldier on that occasion.
There is road, known as tho tele-
graph road, which enters the town OF
fredericksburg, Va, from the South
This road passes around the east and
north sido of Mayro's hill. About
half way around the north side of the
hill it leaves the hill and runs north
into the town. Where it leaves the
hill it leaves gap in the celebrated
stone wall or fence. About 20 yard.
from this gap and in the direction o.
the town was brick house. This
house was situated on the west side O
the road above alluded to. Near thi
house Gen. Francis Mcagher, Of tn,
Irish brigade, was wounded on Decem
Der 18th.
On Sunday, the 14th December, m.
company was in line at the gap in tn
wall, and We dug up the road with on
bayoncts and threw up breastwork
of the loose earth and stones.
From the position we skirmishe'
heavily all that day with the Yanks ly
ing down in depression extendin
east from the brick house referre
to.
Along in tho day these Yanks need
ed uater and to leave their position !
a body to get it would be certain de
struotion. So every once and Will
one or two would jump up and make
break for the town to get water.
Instantly hundreds Of Confed
would turn their guns on them.
All failed to get away but two {
thres, and Of these but one ever g
back. This one after getting to tow
returned along telegraph road, heav
ly loaded down with water canteen
He came leisurely along the roe
l making straight for our line-all Il
while being under fire.
When he reached the brick hou,
j he turned east and walked quickly or
unconcerncd, apparently, along Il
t Yankee line, and when he reached b
place leisurely lay down. He wake
q along his line for 100 yards or NOR
and the dirt was being thrown ,

START NINE WITH PRAYER.
Chicago Ministers Dedicate a Cripple
In TN.

Chicago Mintsters Dedicate q Cripple
Creek Claim.
Cripple Creek, Col, March 9.-The
Rev. Frank w. Gunsaulus and the Rev.
l.. a. Rockwell, of Chicago. yesterday
started the machinery OF the Good Will
Temple Mining and Milling Company
after fervent prayer for the success OF
the venture. From this Good Will claim,
given to the Lord by Andrew Wharton,
the company composed mainly of Chi
cago churchmen, hopes to dig enough
gold to build in Chicago temple which.
in the language of one of the promoters,
will make Solomons temple look like 30
cents.
The story of the Good Will company is
a strange one Andrew Wharton came
to Cripple Creek eight years ago from
the plains in Kansas. He had been a
town boomer in his former home. There
was no chance to follow his old occupa-
tion here. and the land in the mineral
bearing zone was all taken up. Wharton
went on the outside and gobbled almost
u township. He could get assays, but
one can do that anywhere in the Rocky
mountains. He schemed about. patented
much OF his land, and then wondered
what he should do next.
Some spiritualist told him to go to
Chicago and turn q portion Of his hold

ings over to the Lord. In the city by
the great big lakes he met the Rev.
Frank w. Gunsaulus and the Rev. L..
A. Rockwell. He said to these men that
he wanted to give some of his mining
land away, provided 1t should be devel-
oped by Christian people and the profits
Used in building temple in Chicago.
The ministers had heard of Cripple
Creek and its world of gold and readily
fell into the scheme. They incorporated
ing Company and started selling stock,
ground turns out to pay. all profits are
to go toward the building of temple,
SO nobody is deceived.
The territory owned by the company
is far removed from tbs producing sec
tion, but some experts have reported
favorably upon it. A working shaft
has been put down 100 feet and over this
Ia plant of machinery costing large
amount of money has just been in
stalled.
Putting the machinery in motion was
an event for the company. and the Chi
scago ministers, with some prospectors
working near by, and the miners en-
ployed on the property, were the only
ones present. The prayer made by the
Rev. Mr. Gunsaulus was fervent one.
do not know what this will amount
to, said DR.. Gunsaulus. but hope fo,
the best. In holy writ we find the state
ment made that gold Is where you find
it, and Why should it not be on our
ground All the money, If any we make,
Is to be used in a religious cause
Should the mine be a bonanza, and such
we really believe it to be, we shall erect
