Poison," or " Romeo and Juliet up-to-date." Besides presenting numerous comical situations and absurd ludicrisms, the piece abounds in charming music which affords opportunities for displaying the Misses Greenwood's beautiful voices. The company supporting the Greenwoods is very strong, while each member is thoroughly adapted to their allotted parts. Some very beautiful scenery will be shown, while the dressing is especially gorgeous. Altogether a rare treat may be expected. We shall have more to say about this talented company later •on. Return of Bishop Grimes. ! ♦ Bishop Grimes who has just returned to Christchurch from his trip to Great Britain and the continent in the course of a long narrative says : — ln Rome his Lordship had several audiences with the Pope, and he was most graciously received by him, and by Cardinal Rampolla, his Secretary of State. His Holiness was deeply interested in matters connected with New Zealand, and the work of the Church here. He went into even the minutest details. The mental and bodily vigour of the Pope, though he is now 86, is simply marvellous. Bishop Grimes noted that he went through Papal functions that lasted for a iong time, with the greatest ease, and apparently without much fatigue. His mental vigour continues unbated and only the other day he wrote Rome excellent verses in Latin, which he sent to the Emperor of Austria, regarding the death of the Empress. When his Lordship had an interview with the Pope about eleven years igo his Holiness at first sight appeared to be very feeble, but he -oon noted with pleasure the elasticity of his mind, the retentive ness of his memory, and the eagerness tfith which he entered into conversation and plied him with ques■iong. " Each time I have seen aim since," said his Lordship, " I have been more and more struck with these qualitie?. His vigour is -imply wonderful. Chronic Sleeplessness Means Brain Disorder, Headaches, Weakness, and Perhaps Lunacy. + DE. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS CUBE THESE EVILS. To suffer from chronic sleeplessness is to suffer agonies of mind and body that not infrequently end in lunacy if the ai'ment is not combated. In completely curing sleeplessness, and the ills which follow it, Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale i People have been uniformly successful, j That this is so, is proved by yet another testimonial— that of Mr Walter Copeland, of Elizabeth Street, Brisbrne. Mr Copeland, is a well-known and highly-respeoted citizen, and for many years he had been ; employed upon intercolonial boats. This is what he said to a reporter from the Brisbane Age : — " Some few year 3 ago I suffered from insomnia. I consulted medical men and chemists here in this town, but all to no purpose. Some nights, after taking a strong opiate, I would have a few hours' sleep, but this artificial production for sleep did not avail me much,eomfort, and I awoke tired and restless as ever, felling just as bad aa if I had remained sleepless. This state of things could not continue much longer. Under the terrible strain my constitution must give way. Already signs were not wanting that such a misfortune was coming over me ; my appetite was leaving me ; severe pains in the eyes and forehead were adding to my discomfort, and I fully believed an early grave was my fate. Being possessed of financial means, I procured many remedies. Some of them relieved my tortures for a while, but bad no lasting effects. At last my medical adviser said he could do no more for me ' Science and medicine had reached their limit,' said he, and so far as his knowledge was concerned, my case was incurable. So I lived on, experiencing all the miseries and vicissituded that such a complaint necessarily entails. Where would it end ? I looked for the termination which 1 thought could permanently bei#st me — death. But, as Shakespeare says, ' there is a tide in the affairs of man, which taken in the flood, leads on to fortune.' Hearing of a person who had suffered somewhat simriaaly to myself, and who had been cured by a courße of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I resolved to test once more the invention of medical science, and give the pills a trial. So I began to take the pills. After one box had been swallowed, I must confess my hopes were nor. too confident, but I continued takibg them, and after three boxes of the pills had been taken I felt eon-
