THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, APRIL 27, 1896-FOURTEEN PAGES. 7 Goldenberg’ s, 928 7th---706 K St. As we said yester= day, we are not look- ing for profits during this Rebuilding Sale. Most of the new Spring and Summer goods now arriving were bought months ago, and we thought then that surely the - mew store would be completed by this time. But we didn’t give the builders near enough time,itseems. There’s but one thing todo,and that is what we are and have been doing—putting prices on the goods which will surely move them. One of the most ad- vantageous purcha- ses we have ever made was_ several thousand yards of Plain Colored Surah Silks. Just what lit= tle we said about them yesterday sold the entire lot which we placed on the table early this morning. omorrow we place the second lot on and by night there won’t much of i ft. The colors are pink,lemon,olive, nile, &c., and they would be a bargain even at 25c. yard. I24ec.

We have just bought several hundred dozen pairs of Ladies’ Herms- dort Fast Black yptian Yarn Hose, with high spliced heels. They are just as good as our 25c. hosiery and yet we got them cheap enough to sell for I5c. We have made a reduction in our high-grade Black Satin Ribbon, which ought to make it fairly fly. No reason why such a staple line should fall other than to reduce stock as much as possible. Now 6c. yd. 7 wastoc. Now 8c. yd. 9 was 13c. Now toc. 12 was 18c. Now r4e. 16 was 21c.

His Interesting Oxford Career—Efforts Made in Behalf of Education for Workingmen. Rev. W. Hudson Shaw, M.A., or, as he is better krown at old Oxford, “Democrat Shaw of Balliol,” who has made a most fa- vorable impression on Washingtonians by his course cf lectures at Metzerott Hall, for the benefit of university extension, be- gan bis academic career as exhibitioner on his admission to Oxford es an undergrad- uate. This is an honor much coveted by new men, as it takes the holder at once cut of the large body of short-gowned fresh- men, giving him the more flowing scholar’s gcwn, as an indication of the fact that the university has found nim unusually well equipped for college study. The workingman student whom Mr. Shaw has just been in- strumental in bringing to Oxford secured a similar distinction by winning the Brack- enbury scholership on competition open to all_ccrers. The next milestone in Mr. Shaw's univer- sity career was the winning of the prize for the best historical essay, open to all com- ers, and greatly esteemed as an indication of the charecter of the undergraduate’s earlier work in the university. Mr. Shaw was president of the Oxford Debating Union, one of the highest marks of distinction which come to an Oxford man from the university, distinct from the college to which he belongs. He was grad- vated with honors in history in I8%3, and received the master’s degree in regular Rey. W. Hadxon Shaw, M.A. course. Among his best remembered teach- ers in the university are Prof. T. H. Green, Prof. Stubbs, now bishop of Oxford; Arnold i Toynbee, who was his warm personal nd, and P1 Jowatt, the master of | was under con- obligation. It | gestion and on ris ad eft his parish ir the south of England in Iss to become a university extension lecturer, After four years of brilliant success in the extension lecture field, Shaw received a fellow- ship at Palliol wholly on account of his university extension work. This was an- oth of the many marks of approval of Mr. w's work given by the master of Balliol. The college created a special stat ute for the purpose, no fellowship being in existence that could be given to a man n in residence or not engaged in what had been previously considcred a legitimate academic occupation for fellows. Every year since re: parish Mr. Shaw has been offer portunity to return to 3 This steat al to be «nticed away from his present work is to be explained by the fact that he conceives it to be one of the really potential movements of the present time, the most promisins and the most urgent of ail social reform muve- ments. However men may differ concern- ing specific reforms and remedies, it is clear to all who desire reform at all that education must precede, and because Mr. Shaw believes that the culturé of the unl: versities should be brought within the reach of the citizen democracy, he remains steadfast in the one organized movement on a large scale from which there seems adequate reason to expect this result. Much has been said about the success of liol, to whom Mr. Shaw continued stant and long at Prof. Jo’ the English movement in reaching the working classes, but, in fact, this success is very largely a personal one, and more than one-half of the total working-class attendance on the lectures in the Englis! movement is in the centers at which Mr. Shaw lectures. In the north and the south of England, every year, he addresses a working-class constituency of fully 5,000 péople, and in most instances he has been the pioneer who has first succeeded in get- ting a hearing from them. In America Mr. Shaw is just finishing his third season. No other lecturer has had audiences so large. and enthusiastic as those which have greeted Mr. Shaw during the present winter. Even the remarkable original burst of enthusiasm which greeted the work of Professor Moulton in his first season, and which, at that time, was the high-water mark of university extension success, has been surpassed by the record of the present winter. Mr. Shaw's regular audiences in seventeen different centers have aggregated 7,000, or, if reported on the plan adopted by the board of education of New York city for its system of lec- tures to the people, there has been an ag- gregate attendance on bis lectures alone of 42,000. Including special lectures, it is probable that Mr. Shaw has addressed, dur- ing the present winter in Washington, Phil- adelphia, Baltimore and suburban cities, fully 10,000 different people, more than three-fourths ‘of them in full six !ecture courses, Special Features of His Work. Two special features of Mr. Shaw’s work during the present season deserve special mention. One, and for Americans the «more important, ts his vigorous Participation in the movement in behalf of international arbitration, and in the larger movement for the bringing about of a better feeling between England and America, of which the agitation for arbitration may be sald to be a part. The other special feature referred to ts the bringing to Oxford of the first student from a workingmen’s center on a special Statute of the college which he entered, dis- pensing with the ordinary requirements in classics and similar branches. This man, Joseph Owen by name, was originally a factory hand, and had no other training than that given by an eight years’ attend- ance upon university extension courses at @ center in the north of England. A spe- cial fund of £650 is being raised to support him’ during his four years’ honors course. The American Society for the Extension of University Teaching has printed one of Mr. Shaw's best lectures, that on Lord Falkland, m an attractive little volume, with paper covers, and the proceeds of the sale are being devoted to the fund above mentioned. Mr. Shaw speaks of the bril- liant workman student as a man of great ability and high character, and as the first extension student’ who’ has proceeded straight from his course to the university. Liquor Violations, Two cases involving the alleged sale of Nquor in violation of law were called to the attention of Judge Kimball tcday. William Crovin and John Buckley were charged with conducting a “speak-easy” at 414 street and Limerick alley. Cronin had kept a licensed saloon there, but his application for a renewal of the lccnse was rejected. | It is now charged that he has been con- ducting business at the old stand on Sun- days. Buckley had been bartender for him, and it is alleged that he new does business in connection with Cronin. There has been considerable drunkenness in the alley re- cently, and it is now alleged that these de- fendants have been doing the wholesale business. They are under bond for their appearance. Ercch Williams, colored, who lives at 9th Street and Grant avenue, was defendant in the other case. He was arrested by Po- Neeman McDonnell. The defendants in both | « were represented by counsel and jury Is were demanded. False Pretenses Charged. William Webster, a colored man with many aliases, was in the Police Court to- day on a charge of false pretenses, It was charged that he had cailed at the houses of a number of poor persons, and had rep- resented himself to be an agent for the W. Moses & Sons furniture house. In this it Is alleged, he received orders and small cash deposits. Not being an agent cf the firm, as it Is charged he represented himself, ar officer ariested him. There were two charges filed against him in court and he waived an examination. Judge Mil- ler sent the case to the grand jury, and the prisoner was committed in default’ of $1,000 security. ———._—_ The Northern Paclfie plan of reorganiza- tion has been declared cperative. when our ‘‘live methods” come stocked market. these days. oe ¢ ps ee = = ‘fA “spark” for the boys E —and a big one—too.

Real Ratate Active and Butlding Ope- rations Being Pushed—Local = Notes of-Interest. There was a genergl free fight yesterday morning about 8 o'clock over in Rosslyn, and the sounds of the strife in the still night alr came echoif% across the river and awakened many of the residents of town. Several pistol shots Were fired, but no one was shot, though cracked heads were numerous. No one knows how the fight started, but a crowd of Georg2town hocd- lums were on one side and Tony Simmons and George Brown, a colored man, on the other side, and these two came off vic- torious, Simmons doing the shooting. The Georgetown crowd, vanquished, came charging across the bridge. A young black- smith whose name could not be learned, but who lives on the Canal road, was in the lead. He was badly scared and his hat gone, being carried away by a flying stone. He was running fast and did not stop until he reached his home. Joseph McCarthy was a close second to him, and his head was bleeding in a number of places from stone cuts, Following him were a crowd carrying the prostrate form of Jack Wright, who was badly knocked out by the fracas and insensible. He had a number of bad cuts on the head and face and was car- ried home and put to bed. John Donoghue was the last of the party to show up, and he was injured about the head. The stones did far more damage than the shots. Reckless Driving. As the weather Improves the reckless driving of pleasure parties on the road in- creases, and yesterday was no éxception. Scarcely a good Sunday passes without one or more arrests of people who speed their horses to the danger of others. Yesterday Sergt. Hess, with Policemen Heide, Law and Bradley, all of the mounted ‘police force of the ‘county, were stationed along the Conduit road to prevent this dangerous practice. AS a result two arrests were made. Joseph Crawen, aged seventeen, a fresco painter, was one of the victims Po- iceman Bradley overhauled. Mr. MeCart- ney was also arrested by Policeman Heide, and this morning both cases were in the Police Court. Laying 2 Conduit. The work of laying the new underground electrical conduit on the Metropolitan rail- rcad on 32d street, at the crossing with the tracks of the Georgetown and Tenley- town electric railway, begun this morn- irg. The work necessarily interferes with the running of the cars on the latler road, and to prevent this a gang of laborers were put to work above P street laying a switch, so that the cars could run on a single track pending the improvements. The police, however, stopped the work be- cause no permit had been issued for the laying of the switch, and the work was suspended pending the securing of the necessary permission.
