PAST MASTER OF HOPPING
One-LeE Man scOrns a Crutch and
Draws Attention to HIS
deficiencies.

A stranger in the city who had occasion
recently to pass along Lombard street,
near Seventh street was passed by a man
hopping along on one leg and his curiosity
was aroused. Upon questioning a store
keeper in the neighborhood he learned that
he had just seen one Of the unique char
acters Of Philadelphia, Tom Scott.
Tom Scott, or Hop he is Familiarity
known to many Of his associates, IS a ne
gro He is 45 years old and for thirty
eight years has been a familiar figure on
Lombard and South streets as he hoped
on one leg from place to place, When a
little child Scott was the victim Of an ac-
cident which caused his left leg 10 wither
and become helpless. He had no crutch,
but his boyish spirits drew him to the play
ground and he got about fairly we'll on his
one good leg. When afterward he was Of

SOLDIERS SAVE SOME MONEY
Nearly Three Million Dollars 10 Their
Credit In Uncle sans
Strong Box.

Although the American soldier is not
highly paid, he must be considered a thrifty
fellow when his saving temperament comes
10 light, Last year $500 enlisted men
saved and deposited with the paymaster's
department Sl,495,22S. This quite respectable
sum represents about u per cent Of the
total pay Of all the enlisted men for that
period. There are but few wage-wCrks r.
who can boast even a 10 per cent saving out
OF their earnings Had every enlisted man
made a deposit, the average saving for the
year would have been $3.50 but that Is the
least interesting feature Of the system. The
figures show that the soldier can deposit
under the law Of 1872, only sums Of S. and
over. AS the pay Is small. the total deposits

in scorn. Not In all these years since has
he changed his mind, but continues to bob
away up and down the streets, resting
every half square and outstripping the fast
est pedestrian with two goods legs.
Scott lived for many years in Lombard
row, near Seventh and Lombard streets,
but recently moved to a place near Broad
and Lombard streets. He is supported by
a sister and makes no pretense at employ
ment any more strenuous than holding
down store boxes. He is probably the only
man in the world who has hoped for
thirty-eight years.

for the year show that the saving habit is
continuous with many enlisted men.
These deposits bear interest at the rate
Of per cent per annum, but they cannot
be withdrawn until the soldier receives his
discharge Last year there was repaid to
eX-soldiers the sum Of 81 ,l6s 23G; interest was
also paid to the amount Of SOLE The
number OF men discharged is unobtain-
able, but the amount repaid shows thar
their saving must have been considerable
Since the enactment Of the law of 1877
the total deposits have amounted to ST.

Sl,5S2,993 in interest on deposits withdrawn
There remains on deposit with the pay
master general the sum of S2.sll, 7S7.-Ear-

WONDERFUL REVIVAL
IN MONROE
Very Successful Union Meet
ing Now Being Carried on
at That Place.

A wonderful religious revival
is going on in the city of Monroe,
under the direction of the evan
gelist, Rev. Mr.. Mcintosh, of the
Methodist Episcopal church. He
is assisted by the ministers of the
Baptist, Presbyterian, Christian
and NJ 9 t Ia o dist Protestant
churches. We copy a portion of
an editorial from the Star, of that
city:
cit is impossible to disguise the
fact that the union revival SER
vices in progress in Monroe are
touching the lives and consciences
of men and women as they were
never touched before; it exceeds
anything of the kind ever known
here in intensity of purpose and
genuine enthusiasm, and it is
freely and earnestly predicted
that SIN and wickedness, which
now flaunt their brazen faces in
public places, will seek the dark
and dismal recesses of earth.
"As a sample of what has
already been accomplished, over
seventy converts were received
into the Methodist, Baptist and
Presbyterian churches as a direct
result of the Mcintosh meeting.
The ministers of these churches
with those OF the Christian and
Methodist Protestant churches
have labored earnestly during the
past week, and have had the
glorious. satisfaction of seeing
men and women saved"
