A COL0aeD ROMANCE IN WASHINGTON.
One Of the Downing Family In Love DIM
entity.

From the Washington Star, Oct. 1911
We have given an account OF how the proposed
elopement OF Charles Downing, OF Boston, u son Of
the well known c0ored caterer In this city, and
Georglne Jacobs q handsome Octoroon, moving IN
the upper circles OF colored society in the federal
metropolis, frustrated, and though we had every
reason TO believe the romance was not Of IN end.
yet we did not expect that 1t would 80 soon come
near closing in a tragedy. The scene of this
second chapter Is on Eleventh street, above l.,
where, about hali.past i've O'Clock yesterday alter
noon, there was considerable excitement a large
crowd OF persons being gathered in the neigi!bor-
hood. It appears that about that hour the disap.
pointed lover, Downing. accompanied by Mr.. George
Jacobs, brother Of Georgne, and q mutual frenI'
named Boyd, called at the residence OF Mrs. Murray,
In that locality, for the purpose, 1t Is supposed Of
talking the matter 1t Is alleged that as Down
Ing was passing into the house Jacobs dealt him q
heavy blow. Downing immediately drew re-
vOlver, and Jacobs started on run up Eleventh
street. closely followed by Downing, who when near
the corner oil NJ street fired, but fortunately aimed
too high, ana no harm was done. In few minutes
Downing and Boyd got IN carriage and drove OF.
Ofcer Smith arrived soon after the shooting, and,
learning thai Downing had been stopping at the
house OF Dr. A. j. Augusta, on l. street. between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth, went there ana ascer'
tanned that he had ert tne house. hurrlcdy packing
his trunk, and was probably at That time on his
way North.

success. Last night they had a large
house, and everybody was pleased, if not
delighted. No entertainment is enjoyed
more by the most OF people than a first
class minstrel troupe. TIE Serenaders
fill the bill, and we recommend one who
has the blues or has not, and everyone
who desires to enjoy dozen hearty
laughs and have pleasant hour or two,
to go and see this excellent company.
The double dance of Messrs Hughes and
Hogan alone is worth going to see, or was
last night, and we presume it will be re-
peated. The end men are capital; so is
the music, dancing, jokes, puns and local
hits. An attractive bill will be cut this

Valuable Paintings.

Seeing q crowd of ladies and gentle
men at the auction-rooms Of Register Il
Trezevsnt yesterday afternoon, we
dropped in and found that they we're
looking at collection of valuable paint
ings jus. opened and put On exhibition.
The collection is not the largest, but is
pronounced by critics in art matters to
be the best ever brought to Memphis.
Mr.. d. Gale, the collector and the i'm
mediate agent of the artists, has quite
reputation for his taste and judgment
The conpoisseurs and art patrons Of the
city are respectfully invited to call and
see for themselves. All these pictures
will be offered for sale at auction, COM
mencing at seven o'clock tomorrow
friday evening, and continuing Satur-
day evening from the same hour. The
collection includes some of the best
efforts of the most eminent artists in both
the Old and New Worlds. The cata-
logue numbers seventy-six oil paintings,
including all sizes, from the magnificent
scenes "On the Delaware" "On the
Juniats," 1.-THE Old Lighthouse" "On
the Catskils," and "On the Coast of
France," to the smallest cabinet copies
of celebrated paintings. A visit to the
hall will repay any one. We will not
offer an extended description, but hope
that many of our readers will call and
see for themselves. Those who are
critical judges will find many gems of
art that will delight them, real paintings
worthy to sdorn any collection or draw
ing-room walls. 1t is gratifying to
observe, year after year, that public taste
in such matters improves, and that q
love of the beautiful, which is generally
linked with love for the good, is q
growing trait of our people.

Mamphis Climb.

At the grand hop given by the mem
bers of the above fashionable club last
night, one OF the particular features con-
stituting the evenings entertainment was
a new dance called the varieties" IN.
der the imm mediate direction and super
vision of the talented Prof. Nook. This
is the first introduction of the above
dance, which excited the admiration of
all present. All credit is due the young
ladies who participated for executing the
charming varieties I" SO gracefully and
correctly, with hardly any previous prac-
tice. The participants were heartily ap-
plauded by the admiriBg spectators. Our
popular young friend Mr.. Chas. Herzog
rendered valuable assistance, and made
himself generally agreeable. We owe
Mr.. M. Hirsch many thanks for his sue
cessful efforts to promote the general en-
joyment of the occasion. OBSERVER.

Seventy names are on the muster.roll,

them beautiful green flag.
The thieves are prscticing new trick.
They take an old number from broken
down wagon, put II over their own num-
Der, call for bale OF cotton. and when
they get away with it take off the false
number. In this way, we learn, several
bales of cotton have been carried of and
lost 10 the owners or dealers.
A gentleman who lost pistol at the
thester last night called ct the Office this
morning and received il back from the
hands of the polite and gentlemanly
manager. II is rule of the present
anagement to take care of all articles
thus found, and return them when called
for by the owners. The gentleman in
this instance expressed many thanks.
With pain we record the death of Mrs.
Jennie Teager, beloved wife of Mr.. Geo.
W. Tesger, of this city, which took place
on Tuesday evening, the 18th instant, at
her residence on Robson street, in the
thirty-ffth year other ege. The deceased
was a kind, good, intelligent woman, a
gentle spirit, loving wife, a tender
mother, an exemplary Christian, and a
charitable neighbor. For ysars she has
held one of the highest positions as
teacher of the young in our city schools,
and her loss will be deeply deplored by
the Public School Board, as we'll as by
large circle of relatives and friends.
Her funeral takes place this afternoon,
and will be attended, we presume, by
the Teachers Associations and crowd
of city-school pupils. Peace to her
ashes. blessed are the dead who die
