STRIKING AT THE MARK.
To inc State Herald.

To the State Herald:
 Referring to your excellent editorial in yesterday mornings paper l only desire to say that I know of a concern not very far from this city which runs a com missary. and it is said sells goods to its employees al about three times regular prices. and in order to sell still larger amount of goods they keep in their em- nlovment about three times the number of men necessary to do all their work, and hence give these men only two days work each week. This of course with the check system in vogue compels all the employes to live entirely out of said commissary. and the two days work given them is barely enough to keep their families from starvation.

"sinbad" This Week.

7 There have been extraya ganzas and ex- ;travaganzas, but never one with a stronger claim upon popularity than "Sinbad," which will be4seen at .O'Bnen's opera house Thursday night.
 David Henderson, at all times a most liberal manager, has put "Sinbad through a course of rebeautifying, until the piece is positively dazzling, and from the rise of the curtain to the last trans formation scene entirely new stage ef- fleets have been supplied by Artist Fred erick Dangerfeld. New pallets have been supplied by Senor V. Romeo, and new music has been selected and com posed by Clarence. Rogerson, The ad- dresses. oyer 100 in number. are entirely new, even in design/ = .t..
 The principal scenes of the four acts are well diversified, the first being sea- port town, with a view of the ocean, this being followed by the deck of the snug glers ship, a vision of the ocean depths, a tropical island, the Diamond valley, the terraced interior of Sinbad's palace, and the final tableaux and tranSforma- tion scene by Dangerheld, entitled "The Origin of the Harp" There are the usual intervening front scenes. The cast is strong and many of those who won suc- cesses and esteem two years ago have their old parts.
 As Snarleyow Douglas Flint reminds one of Donegal castles. Blarney stones and home rule by his makeup and cos tunes, and more especially by his whs kers. He sings better than ever If that were possible. Of taking conceits Jo- seph Doner has new bakers dozen and his makeup and songs are more clever and catchy than they were in the first edition. A finely rounded and very sweet voice. together with "a pretty picture and -,modest stage presence, are the strong points of Miss Irene Verona, who does 'the part of Sinbad.
 70 The music of the eXtravaganza is an important and attractive feature. Per ,haps the most noted songs are: ,".And the Band Played On, - Some Dance the Lan- ciers," Pretty Little Maiden Who" '. 'a.'The Bogie Man. What Are the Wild Waves Saying I'm a Busted Swell" and Merry, Merry MIX Maids"
 The opera house ought to present a brilliant scene on the night that this or ganization will be with us There are over 100 people who travel in. the com pany besides three car loads of scenery, costumes and properties. It is unneceS- sary to state that the company travel by their own special train.
