Helena, Mont, Dec. !o.-United States
Judge Knowles today rendered a decis-
ion granting a new trial in the case of
T.. Rollins Morse against the Montana
Ore Purchasing company, in regard to
the Michael Davitt mine, on the ground
of undue influence exercised on the jury
during the trial by the publication of a
number of articles in the Helena INDIE
pendent commenting on the case, and
on the relations between the parties,
Mr.. Morse acting as trustee for the Bos-
ton and Montana Mining company.
After disposing of the specific cases
Of undue influence on particular; Jurors,
the judge goes on to say: 1.-THE next
ground for a new trial is the publication
of a number of articles in the Helena
Independent, a newspaper published in
the own Of Helena, having a tendency
to prejudice the minds Of the jurors
against the plaintiff or the party repre-
sented by him.
Judge knowles then goes on to quote
In eXtenso from these articles, beginning
with one in the issue Of Dec. u, 1899.

company is the real plaintiff. The next
appearance was Dec. 16. and was an ed
ltorial charging that the Ama1gamated
company had swindled eastern investors
out of SIS, 000, 900, and that such parties
would not recommend Montana as a field
for investment. This was followed by an
editorial Of December 90, accusing "the
Anaconda and Standard Oil gang, with
DAILY at their head of the same prac-
tees. This article went into more detail,
charging that the consolidation Of the
other copper companies with the ANAL
gamated had been forced for purely
stock jobbing purposes; that eastern
people had invested their small savings
in the stock after it had been doomed
by manipulation; that when the bottom
was knocked out, that hundreds and
perhaps thousands of prospectors had
been squeezed out of their claims by the
same people. Other articles followed in
the same strain, until Dac. 20, when the
Independent published the following
special dispatch from Butte:

 New Orleans Times-D Democrat: "Yes, this is rather peculiar locket and got it in rather peculiar manner. :" said cotton buyer of this city when somebody remarked the quaint little trinket attached to his watch chain. The loeket was of gold, and an ordi- nary five-cent piece was set in the lid, surrounded by circle of colored stones. The effect was odd and not inartistic. "The story is briefly this" continued the speaker. About three years ago I was OH street car in Chicago, when one of the passengers. a very nice looking young lady, discov. cred that she had no money in her purse. The conductor was disposed to be ugly about it, and, Of course, I in- sisted on paying the fare, giving the girl one of my cards at her very ear nest request. Over a year elapsed, and the incident had entirely faded from my mind, when one day I was walking along St. Charles street and was hailed by lady from 6 cab. She proved to be the same one whose car fare I had paid in Chicago, and had recognized me immediately, although I had hard work recalling the original encounter She told me excftedly that she had been on the lookout for me ever since, and also that she was In the city with some relatives en route for home after a trip to California While she was talking she was searching her purse for nickel, but had no change. laughed, told her not to bother about it, and gave her another card few weeks later I received this 1oeket with a very charming letter, which I prize highly. I have had remarkably good luck ever since I have WUn the little gift, and I am supefstitlous enough to regard it as sort of mascot.

scotIand.s Fish Law.

Royal sturgeon has been caught in the Ouse, near Goblet, Scotland. It's capture has raised an interesting ques- ton. As the law now stands all large fish--such as whales, sturgeon and for merly porpoises-if captured within the three miles limit of the coast are royal fish and are claimed by the coastguard or the customs on behalf of the crown. In the event of the sturgeon being a particularly fine specimen, it Is forwarded to the queen. The law In Scotland sn regard to whales is the same as in England, and in contested case in the Scottish courts the law was laid down by Lord Erskine that whales when large be- long to the sovereign. when small to the captor."

Singing in the opera and cultivating farm are about as widely different from each other as two occupations can well be. Perhaps this Is the very req son why Mademoiselle Calve, the great prfma donna, retires eveery summer to spend her vacation on farm among the Cevennes. chain Of mountains in southern France. The famous singer, says the Philadelphia Post, was very III and nervous when she went to the Cevennes, but this free. open air life and vigorous exercise soon restored her to the most robust health, and when friends asked her the secret of her cure, she answers, Spades and pota- toes" Last summer she went into her kitchen garden and cared for her own vegetables. No one was allowed to touch them, and the results were far better than when her gardener cared for the things. Mademoiselle Calve wore short skirt of blue jeans, sabotat and linen shirtwaist. She spaded and hood and watered her vegetables day after day, and proudly sent gifts of the finest fruits of her labors to friends in Paris

In the harbor at Port Elizabeth, Cape Colony, the other day, an interesting boat race was held, crew of British bluejackets being pitted against some Malay fishermen The five seamen who represented the British navy were se- lected from the crew of the cruiser Doris, the flagship of Rear-Adfniral Sir Robert H. Harris, one of the smartest admirals of the navy, and now in com mand of the Cape of Good Hope and West Coast of Africa squadron. If the seamen thought they were going to have a walkover they were greatly mistaken. The Malays gave them a good race; sometimes the naval men led, and then again the Malays would overtake them. Toward the finish. however. the seamen obtained a tac~ tfcal advantage and managed to win with about dozen lengths to spara
