A QUESTION OF PRICES
Opened Up by Arrest Of the
Street Vendors.
THE PEANUT CONTROVERSY.
Prominent Firms Are Interviewed
by the Virginian, but They All
Disclaim Cutting Of Prices.
Think Street Vendors
Are Deserving.

The action OF the Mayor against
the street vendors Of peanuts and
candy, which WAS brought about by
the protest of the retail dealers IN
these articles who possess stands
and desplse sales from "a push cart,
has opened up the large question OF
prices aud competition.
The retailers claim that the push
cart contingent undersold them, cut.
ting down prices 2 cents per quart,
and they say that this cut only be
came possible through the cO.opera.
sion OF some Wholesale house.
With view to obtaining light
upon the subject VIRGINIAN repre-
sentative called yesterday on several
large peanut firms.
Without exception all of the firms
who are members of the Virginia
Peanut Association said that they
decllhed to sell less than Twenty-Five
bags ut Wholesale rates. On smaller
orders their prices are much higher.
The one firm outside the associa-
ton is the Union Milling Company,
who not only clean the peanuts, but
roast for the trade. This fact.
coupled with the incident that Mr..
Hall, secretary and treasurer of the
concern. went to the police station
aud protested against the arrest of
the street vendors. seems to have i'm
pressed the retailers with the belief
that this firm has been supplying
the push cart men.
MIR. Hall, when interviewed by
HE fIRGISIAN representative, how.
ever, disclaimed any cutting of
prices by his firm.
"lf we cell the vendors at q low
price II Is for Il corresponding low
grade OF peanuts. Our firm does
not believe in discrimination hence
we have sold to the street wonders
ut the same rates we sold to other
classes OF the trade. We are not
making any fight whntever along
this lne, ss we look at the matter IN
purely business light, and the
only reason that | went to the police
station In the interest of the men
was that some of them, having pur-
chased goods from us, sent for me.
and as 1 regarded their release as
matter OF simple justice, l went"
The concensus of opinion seems
to be that the street vendors are do.
serving men. who cannot obtain
other employment, and that their
humble business supports not less
than 200 people.

InterruptSd Service,

At a small church in Maino tho regular
organist happened 10 be absent, and the
congregation, in which were "a few sum
mer visitors, was Obliged to sing the
hymns without instrumental aid and I'M
der the pastors leadership. One hymn,
apparently not familiar to many, ealno
several times to a distressing halt and
finally died out altogether
The minister, rather irritated, sat down
as If determined not 60 continue tho serv'
ice until tho singing met his appreciation,
An oppressive silence fell upon the little
company, broken ut last by q deacon's
prayer
20 Lord he said, "touch the heart Of
our pastor, that ho may bemoved to 90 on
with the service"
Not to be outdonc, the minister rose and
prayed earnestly that tho congregation
might have their eyes opened To thoir
faults and be willing to do their part and
not put all the labor on their spiritual
shepherd.
Another embarrassing pause followed,
which seemed likely to last for the re-
mainder of the day. Finally n woman rose
in the rear pew and family petitioned that
spirit of harmony might rest upon pas
tor and people and move them to union
and peace Then shrill voice struck
up familiar anthem, the ice was broken,
"all joined" in the singing, and the serv-
ice went forward. Youths Companion,

CONTEMPT WORSE THAN CRIME.
An Australian Judge and How He Main
tanned the Dignity of His Court.

The stories Of early Australian judges
are humorous and incredible. Tho follow
ing incident, which is vouched for rs Il
fnct, is of Judge who had very lofty
idea of his own legal capacity and was, at
tho samo time, anxious to sustain the dig
nifty of his court A shooting case" came
before him. There was no direct evidence
as to tho perpetrator of the murder, but
the individual arrested was well known
and indeed confessed the deed.
When brought into court, the judge
cautioned the prisoner that no must re-
member his rights as FREQ citizen, and
that, above all things, be must not i1sor-
rupt the proceedings of tho court, After
this friendly warning the judge proceeded
I'd state that he (the prisoncr) was accused
of having on such date shot tho deceased.
Upon this tho prisoner broke in, well,
