SISTER IDENTIFIES
"TRUMP EVANGELIST"
Thomas Veale Lyne, Who Died at
Carlisle, Labored Among
Vagrants
Special to The Telegraph
Carlisle, Pa.. Dec. 18. Just one
month after his death and burial here,
efforts on the part of relatives to lo
cate Thomas Veale Lyne, at one time a
prominent Philadelphia druggist, and
who for ten years labored as an evan
gelist among the vagrants in their
quarters at the Carlisle jail, were suc
cessful, when a letter was received
from a sister living in Alabama asking
that her brother come to her home
there.
Although he kept a diary of Ills
wanderings from the time that, un
der the influence of liquor, h gave up
his home at Philadelphia and became
a wanderer, no mention was made as
to relatives, so that when Lyne died
here nothing was done to locate pos
sible survivors.
A letter from a friend here telling of
the interesting history of the man and
giving his name was received by a
friend of the. man's sister and through
it an identity established. The sister,
Mrs. William Lyne Lazarus, of Au
burn, Lee county, Ala., is the only
relative.
Lvne, who was known as the "Tramp
Evangelist," had an interesting his
tory. He served enlistments in both
the United States and English navies
and visited all parts of the world. He
came to Carlisle about twelve years
ago and was committed to the local
jail as a vagrant. Later he was con
verted and became a member of the
First Presbyterian Church. Following
his conversion he began systematic
evangelistic work among his fellow
prisoners which met with considerable
success. Efforts to have the man
leave the jail were useless, as he said
tht he felt that the best way he could
spend the remainder of his life was "in
helping the fallen as he had been
helped." He was about 70 years old at
the time of his death.
Bully Fine! Corns Go
For All Time.
All that blistering pain will go, all
your toe-pinched suffering will end,
every sign of a foot lump, callous or
corn will disappear once you paint on
that reliable old remedy, Putnam's
Corn Extractor. It's simply a marvel,
the wonder of the day, the surprise of
every thinking man the way it pain
lessly lifts out a corn. You can't beat
Putnam's —that's sure. Sold by deal
