That the world does move is demonstrated in the

long and prayeriul consideration has decided that
physicians may place business cards and ADVERTISE

BISHOP EsTATE WINS.

The case of Lucy K. Peabody VS. the
Bishop Estate, which has been on trial
for nearly three weeks before Judge
De Bolt and jury, J'as ended yester-
day by the granting of a motion for
an instructed verdict for the defendant
The directed verdict was on the ground
that plaintiff had not made any claim
to the property when the land in ques-
ton was conveyed to the Bishop Es-
tate, though possessed of all her rights
at that time. The property was for
merly owned by the Princess Ruth and
by her decided to Bernice Pauahi Bish-
op, and by the latter to the trustees of
the Bishop Estate, but at no time did
Lucy X. Peabody make demand for the
property. The court held that she
therefore waived any claim she might
have had.
