Lying and loyalty, we would remind Mr. Harry Stanley, do not go well together. The Daily Press of this morning advertises that the theatre is, “still crowded nightly';" but our contemporary's critic says that "Struck Oil" was played to "a rather sparsely-filled house." Which is the Ananihs-the-loyal-to-the-public Stanley or the complacent critic who devotes a whole column of his paper describing the plot of drama that is as well known as the historical romance of Jack and Jill? Loyalty, of course, wins hands down.

He appeared quite sober. Prior to that night she had no idea that her husband,contemplated anything of the kind (committing suicide). He never guid anything to her about it at all. The first time she ever thought he was going to commit suicide was when she saw him lying on his bed before stated! She did not know where he got with the revolver partly under his pillow, as the revolver from. It was probably lying about the place. It was an old rusty revolver which he habitually kept in his bed-room, Witness had often seen it before about the honse; same times on the mantel-piece, on the drawers, or on the small bedroom table. She had never invariably in the bed-room. He bad had it seen it in his bed before Sunday night. It was with him ever since they were married. He had never spoken to her about his debts. She had no idea that he was so deeply in debt until he told the children. She had been sold by him previous to Sunday night that he was in debt, but she had no idea that it amounted to $1,300. She did not positively know what her husband's salary was, but she thought it amounted to $60, plus $15 for house-rent and coolies for big ricksha. The only cause she could assign for his committing suicide was his debts. Generally speaking, her husband always appeared perfectly sane.

She then said "He's got it in his trousers pocket," and called for Mr. McRae. Wylie went on upstairs, and a minute afterwards a shot was heard. A light was procured, and he was found lying on the floor. He had been apparently on good terms with his wife that evening, and spoke very kindly to the children. I heard there was some little disturbance between them on Saturday night.

The deceased got up from the table to speak to the children before they went back to the school where they were boarders. After speaking to them, in another room, he came back to the table.
