GIGANTIC FRAUD.
IGovernment Funds Misused on Harbor Improvements.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1S-The Bulletin this afternoon will say: One of the most remarkable cases of the waste of public funds has come to light through the report of Engineer Mac kenzie, of the United States engineer corps, regarding the tidal canal de signed to connect San Leandro bay and Oakland estuary. The govern ment officers virtually acknowledge the gigantic misuse of the harbor i'm provement funds. The work which cost the government over one million dollars must now be abandoned The case calls for rigid investigation. The canal will cost almost another million for its completion and only possible advantage will be flushing of the cess pool which has been made of Oakland l1arbor,

For your Protection -Catarrh "Cures" or Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken internally, usually contain either Mercury or Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur- ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not blood disease, caused by sudden change to cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat. Cold in the head causes excessive flow of mucus. and, if repeatedly neglected, the re- suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis charge. Theremedy should be quickt allay inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.

topheles in q scenic and spectacular version
OF Faust would scarcely be willing to
credit the statement that Mr. Morrison Is
also an excellent light comedian Such is
the case, nevertheless, for in his earlier
years on the stage he was assigned to every
class of work, and it was this remarkable
versatility that first caused the prediction
TO be made that Morrison would some day
become one Of the leading stars of the
American theatrical armament No one,
however, had any idea that it would be in
the role of Mephistopheles that he would
win great fame and IA greater fortune
All actors have faults which they seem
never to he able to entirely correct, and
Morrison is no exception to the rule. His
one great fault is tendency to overelab-
crate details at the expense of the more
important portions of his picture where he
considers it sufficient only to lay the color
on with n prodigal hand. This tendency is
more marked now than ever, due, doubt
less, to the playing of practically only one
role for many years a thing which every
conscientious actor ought to endeavor to
avoid if he have any regard for his after
work
Mr.. Morrison has had most eventful
life. In the early days of his theatrical Ca
reer, while he was playing a couple of new
roles each week, John : Clarke was
among the first to appreciate his worth,
and 1t was as leading man at the old Wal
nut Street theater, Philadelphia, that he
gained much of the experience and knowl
edge OF his profession that has enabled him
to reach his present pinnacle of fame. In
fact, he was called from there to take lead
ing parts at the Union Square theater,
New York, and still later appeared under
the management of Lester Wallack Dur
ing his long career he has supported such
eminent artists as Mccullough and Bar
rctt, Salvini and Adelaide Nelson, and it
was an offer from Henry Irving for him
to play Mephistopheles to the latter's
Faust that led him into making tour of
with a company of his own in the
same attraction. His success was such as
to cause him to repeat it, and it is evident
from his wonderful impersonation of his
satanic majesty that he is in the very ze-
NTH of his powers a tragedian. 1t is not
generally known that Mr. Morrison served
the late rebellion with distinc-
ton, winning captains commission be-
fore he was 19and brevettet major before
being mustered out. I
Mr.. Morrison is dark has black, curly
hair, is about 3 feet 101a inches in height
and slight in build, weighing about 140
pounds He is the embodiment of grace,
most fascinating conversationalist, Is gen
erous to fault and Is one of the most de-
Sirable acquaintance imaginable.
