SEEKS TO HIDE BLEMISH BY
LIVING AS RECLUSE
Frank S. WsatherIy Found Nearly
Dead in a Shack on East Third
Street.-The May Yet Be
EndurabIe to Him

Self-isolated for the last ten years
on account of hideous burns OIL his
face, Frank S. Weatherly, formerly a
well known druggist of Los Angeles,
tried to end his life by starvation.
For two years and a half Weatherly
has been living in a shack in the rear
of 439 East Third street.
Every week s. Crevling, the landlord
of the lodging house, went to the lit
tie cottage and found the rent money
under the door.
Weatherly cooked for himself and
bought his supplies at night when al
most every one was asleep, so that
he would not be seen. No one was
allowed to enter his room and he did
all his own houseworlk.
When he ventured out on the street
he swathed his face in bandages in
order to keep the terrible scars from
being seen.
A few days ago his money gave out.
He had few hundred dollars In the
bank but that had all been used. With
absolute stoicism he lay down on his
rude bed and waited for death to come
through starvation. Finally other
lodgers in the house began to think
that there was something wrong, so
they summoned the proprietor of the
place and he broke in the door of
Weatherly's room and found him ter
ribly emaciated and almost on the
verge of death. He hastily summoned
the ambulance of the county hospital

Der of street car accidents have been
adopted by all the street railways in

number of collisions will be greatly
decreased by the new regulations.
Following are the regulations
adopted by the Los Angeles Pacific,
the Pacific Electric, the Los Angeles
Inter Urban and the Los Angeles
railway.
All cars on all lines of street rail-
ways in Los Angeles not having the
right of way at certain crossings must
come to full stop not less than fif-
teen feet from the tracks when ap-
proachinf such crossings.
All cars having the right of way
must proceed over crossings only, with
the power thrown off and at less than
three miles an hour. under the COM
plete control of the motorman and with
the gong ringing continuously.
The new rules go into effect tomor-

MISSES THREE MISSION
MEETINGS IN FOUR YEARS
MISS SADIE LAPPlN LEADER IN
WORK AMONG JAPANESE
Prominent Worker Says Subjects of
Mikado Are More Apt to Learn
Christian Truths Than Are the
Chinese

Absenting herself only three times
from the evening meetings held FIVE
times weekly for the past four years
al the Broadway Christian church jap
anese mission is the remarkable record
of Miss Sadie Lappin of 4101s Temple
street.
For years previous to the starting of
the Broadway church Japanese mis-
sion, four years ago, Miss Lappin had
been actively engaged in the Chinese
mission work of Los Angeles, severing
her connection from that mission TO
engage in the work of the Japanese
mission.
Speaking of the mission work, Miss
Lappin said:
with my acquaintance with the
Chinese and Japanese mission work,
much prefer that of the Japanese, for
they are neater in personal appearance
and are more apt in educational quail
fications."
In answer to the query regarding her
continuous mission work, Miss Lappin
modestly said:
Il do not think that am doing more
than my part in this mission work, for
reside so close to the church that
have been able to attend regularly and
do what little [ could for the good of
this mission. ] have been doing this
WOIh IrOIH d SGilSe OF OuIy ana the love
of it without recompense.'
The Japanese mission under the aus
pices of the Broadway Christian church
is doing a grand work. Elder l.. Swim
die, assistant pastor of the church, is
the superintendent, assisted by Misses
Sadie Lappin, c. Harrison, Amelia
Rasor and Ella Henry.
The mission was started four years
ago in the basement of the church.
and has been conducted regularly five
evenings weekly, the remaining even
ings having been occupied by devo-
tional work of the mission. The mis-
sion has been we'll attended by the
japanese citizens Of Los Angeles. They
are given primary courses in English.
The Japanese attending the mission
are principally divided religiously be-
tween the Protestants and Buddhists.
At present there is but one Japanese
woman student, who Is the wife of a
prominent japanese physician OF Los
Angeles.
Miss Harrison gives chalk talks In the
Japanese language one evening each
week on current events, which are very
popular. Subjects of interest I'm their
native land are discussed extensively.
The students of the mission are ar
ranging to rent a lodging house I'm some
section of the city outside of China
town, which will be maintained for

AGED MINISTER TELLS
STORY OF MISFORTUNE
APPEARS IN COURT PRESENTING
PITIABLE APPEARANCE
James McCantrim, Formerly Baptist
Preacher From Tennessee, Claims
to Have Been Severely Beaten by
TRUSTEES in the City Jail

With his face cut and bruised in Il
dozen places James McCantrim, Il
former Baptist preacher in the Ten
nessee district, was arraigned before
Judge Austin yesterday morning on
charge of drunkenness, but because
he explained that his injuries had been
sustained by assaults upon him by
TRUSTEES in the city Jail the old man
was given his freedom.
To the court he told q pitiful tale,
saying that his life had been one series
of misfortunes. McCantrim's wife and
ten children, one after another, died
and a married daughter had been
poisoned by carbolic acid and her in
fant child killed by an ice-cold bath
at time when it was ill with measles.
McCantrim says that he had not
been on debauch when arrested, but
had taken a portion of whiskey for
medicinal purposes, which he claims
is custom of the Tennessee noun
taineers. The whiskey for the first
time in his life had a peculiar effect
upon him and he lost control of him
self to the extent that an officer who
happened to see him thought him
drunk, arrested him and booked him
on that charge.
The jailer and bookkeeper claim that
the man was suffering with delirium
tremens when brought to the Jail and
that his story of being beaten by the
TRUSTEES" is a fabrication.
McCantrim on the other hand says
that when he became slightly sobered
the following morning he was COM
PEELED to clean UP the jail with the
other prisoners. 1t was his inability,
which he claims is due to his age and
feebleness, to keep pace with the other
prisoners that caused the TRUSTEES" to
set upon and beat him.
When taken into the police court
yesterday McCantrim presented a pit
liable appearance. When asked if
he was wholly sane he replied in
good English that he was, but that
his continued troubles and misfortunes
had preyed upon his mind to such an
extent that he feared he would become
insane any moment.
Judge Austin took pity on the man
and ordered him released. Mrs. c. c.
Pierce, wife of Rev. Mr.. Pierce, of
the Memorial Baptist church, directed
that the man be sent to the Good Sa-
maritan hospital, where he will be
taken care of until his story of his mis-

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health aud Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature. but
Few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of IL the better. II is not
a drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
In the stomach and intestines and car
ries them on tof the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetabIes'
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, II whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; II
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form OF large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
Ihe daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell In u much improved condi-
tion or the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits OF charcoal, says: "I ad-
wise stuart,s Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels. and to clear the com-
plexion and purify the breath, mouth.
and throat; l also believe the liver h
greatly benefited by the daily use OF
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
box at drug stores, and although in
some sense patent preparation yet
I believe / get more and better char
coal In Stuart's Charcoal LozenRes
than In any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"
