PRIZE TO PLANET REACHER
$4,000 Offered for Communi-
cation with Other Worlds.

Paris. Aug. IA prize which will per-
haps never be awarded is among those
offered by the French Academy of Sci
ences for the encouragement OF research.
Twenty thousand dollars lie in the cof-
fers OF the Academy and will be paid to
the first astronomer who puts the earth
In communication with any planet OF the
solar system other than Mars.
This curious prize was instituted by a
woman named Guzman who died In 1893
and left the money for founding 1t in her
will. The reason why Nine. Guzman ex-
cepted the planet Mars is not explained.
She may have thought this task too easy
OF accomplishment 10 be rewarded with
$1,000.

All in a Bunch.

1t is something new for serious
charges to be made against the
members of the legal profession in
this state. AS a rule lawyers are
honorable men, and Mississippi
has prided herself upon the fact
that hers have in the past borne
as spOtless reputation as those of
any state in the Union.
But since charges were preferred
against e. M. Barber, of Gulfport,
a few weeks ago, of unprofessional
conduct two other similar cases
have followed in quick succession.
just before the assembling of
the extra session of the legislature
charges were preferred against Lee
Russell, of Oxford, who is mem
ber of the State Senate, and who
was exculpated by the State Sen
alto, and now news comes from Bi-
lOxi that W. III. Mayhin. mem
Der of the Biloxi bar, has been
charged with accepting a fee from
both sides of case, and an inves-
tigatiOn has been ordered. In all
of these cases the charges are seri-
ons ones. Lawyers stand next to
the judge and jury in seeing that
equal justice is done, and none
should be allowed to practice who
are not honorable men.
The Mississippi Bar Association,
jealous of its good name, was quick
to act in the first two cases, and it
is to be presumed that it will take
equally as prompt measures in the
third.
None of the cases have yet been
brought to trial, but in all of them
the Bar Association has taken
steps to see that all the facts are
brought out and justice done. =

Razor Not Deadly Weapon.

A Jackson despatch says: Ac
cording to the supreme court Of
Mississippi, the razor is not q
deadly weapon. 1t was decided
today in the case of Junius Brown
VS.. State, from Adams county,
that the razor is a toilet article
and is not treated as a deadly
weapon under the statutes of this
state. Brown is a boy Of Is years
of age and he testified in the lower
court that his grandfather had
sent him to town with the razor
to have it sharpened. On the way
he became involved in a difficulty
and, ''as most any other negro
would do" pulled his razor. The
supreme court believes that the
boy told the truth, and if such
was the case he did not intend the
razor as a deadly weapon. On
that point the court said:
"Though the razor is an article
of ordinary domestic use, still it
is well known that it can be used
with deadly effect. This can be
also said of an ordinary pocket
knife or other articles or instru-
ments which are not classed as
weapons. In some sections of the
land, it may be the habit or GUS
tom of certain classes or persons
to carry a razor concealed for the
purpose of using it in combat.
The time may come when it will
be so generally used as an instru-
ment in combat as to cause the
legislature to include it in the
names Of deadly weapons, which
shall not be carried concealed, but
we cannot decide that it is so in
cluded now. We are constituting
statures.
"Certain of the instruments,
well known to be weapons, are
named and then it includes other
deadly weapons>of like kind or de-
scription. We do not believe
that we can list the razor in the
class of instruments defined to be
weapons of like kind or descrip.
tion' to those designated in the
statute"
