WHAT rs SECOED-oLass MATTER
The POstofflce Department Drawing the
Lines More Strictly Than Ever.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April Third
Assistant Postmaster-general Kerr Craig is
very busy at present trying to determine
what is and what is not second class mail
matter. The well-known position of Post
nlaster.general Bisseli on the subject Of
second class matter and his resolution to
draw the line between legitimate news
papers and periodicals and those which
are published for advertising purposes
solely has induced postmasiers to draw the
lines more tightly and more publications
are rejected than formerly, or II admitted,
made subject to review by the department.
The result is that publishers and AT
torneys OF publishers have been frequent
ing the department presenting their side
Of the cases and arguing for the admission
OF their publications without restrictions.
All these matters come before the third
assistant postmaster-genera for final de-
termination, and iust at the present time
there are an unusually large number of
cases pending.

Nat lie Roy Gives the .'kinss OF Cards" an
Unsavory Reputation aud lsiainoS Him
for All the Trouble.
The Albini Empire Entertainers, q
theatrical company, which has been per-
forming here for week, went TO pieces
in this city on Saturday and the per-
formers succeeded in getting out of
town, although it is said that most o.
them were penniiess.
Nat Lie Roy, who has been locking
after the affairs of the company since
Wednesday, was seen by a reporter OF
The GAZETTE, Saturday morning, and
gave his version of the trouble. lie Roy
says Herbert Albini, the man who or
ganized the company in Boston on
March 4th, and who has been managing
il ever since, left the city unceremoni-
ously on Wednesday, after paying his
own personal bill ut the Hotei Jennings.
1t was thought then that he intended
to give the company the shake" but he
wrote from Philadelphia the next day
saying that he was trying to get money
to help the company out, but IL he did
obtain money he did not send it here,
but wrote lie Roy Friday that he was
penniless and tho players would have to
take care of themselves.
The business here has been very poor,
and the members of the troupe kept
getting deeper in debt. They were
stopping at the Central Hotel, and on
Saturday had difficult job to pay their
Indebtedness there and get their bag
gage released.
The whole bill at the Central
amounted to S77, and when all but $50
had been paid Mr.. Ortlip allowed them
| to take away their baggage and said he
was glad to get rid OF them.
From here the actors and actresses

they expected to get assistance. Mr..
lie Roy and his wife said they intended
| to return to their home in Boston, but
he did not know what the others would
| do.
LIE Roy gives Albini, who styles him
self tine king of Cards" an unsavory
reputation and says it will not be
healthy for the Maynard manager il
| they should chance TO meet again.
Lie Roy spoke of Albini as ian all-round
beat" and says this is the fourth com.
pany he has wrecked in a short time,
He also says that the main cause Of his
sudden departure was the appearance
