CAToCTIN REDIvIvUs.- now have
every reason to believe that the Catoctln
Furnace property is about to be made one OF
the real iron industries of the country. A
company has been organized, title, The Blue
Mountain Iron and Steel Company of Baltl-
more City, with Mr.. Jerome Keely, man Of
large means, wide influence and more and
better than all, sound, practical experience
in the iron business. 1t has been given out

,, the company and that every resource and
advantage possessed by the Catoctn proper.
ty will be developed and made available.
There is ore enough there, hematlte and
magnetic, to supply 50Oton furnace for a
century; it lies almost at the centre of the
eastern circle of demand and possesses rail-
road facilities and other conditions essential
to the most economic production OF iron,
equal to the best and superior to many fur
naces now in blast.
The ores here make iron that has record
to be envied and with the introduction of
modern methods and processes, we are conf
dent that there will be demand for the out.

Along with the main proposition we find
reported as a collateral or "side linc,' that OF
developing the splendid possibilities of the
grand domain of twelve thousand acres of
mountain summit and gorge, as an ideal
summering point. That there are opportu'
mites here, unequalled, nor even approached,
elsewhere within like distance of the
three cities, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
Washington, we assert without q tremor; it
cannot be successfully contradicted aud as
for disproof-that need not be considered
it is fatty impossible, The Blue Ridge from
Catoctin north to Thurmont and west to
Blue Ridge Summit, Penmar and Blue
Mountain is now one of the most famous
mountain resorts on the Atlantic coast, and,
due to the liberal and aggressive policy OF
the Western Maryland Railroad Company,
this peculiarly favored sections future is
promising beyond that which we have the
boldness to proclaim. If then the Blue
Mountain Iron and Steel Company has
brought with it those who are disposed TO de-
velop these possibilities, that are awaiting
only the magic touch of ample cash, we not
only welcome them warmly. but say to them
sincerely that we are certain that the results
will be most satisfactory and gratifying to
them.
We should probably better explain that all
that we haye stated is based upon published
reports and that we are in possession of no
direct or official information; we do not
doubt, nevertheless the accuracy and relia-
bility of the reports that we have read.

IF a man has a wife and children to

but we by no means advise men to
quit their jobs or cease working. We
believe with Paul, the grand hero of
faith. We labor not for the meat
which perisheth.
The law of Moses commanded six
days of work and one of rest. but
Christ came to redeem people from that
law, and We are his followers. We are
undenominational and unsectarian in
everything. To use the language of the
Master, we are strangers and pilgrims
upon the earth living without work.

If men worked none God would feed
them. The trees and vegetables and
the wild food of the woods would feed
all men, and we'd be better off with

we not have faith? This chart was

There is little doubt that these
strange old men follow their beliefs
with unabated faith. BY whom they
are fed is their own secret. Their
faces last night were pale, and a weak
ness fell upon them as they spoke, like
men under the spell of hunger. Living
simple lives, their wants are few, and
