AN EXCELLENT ASSnCIATIoN.-The first
meeting of the Tabernacle society OF st. Mat
thew's church for the season was held at Car
roll institute on Monday. The wife of Senator
Vance is the president Of the society, ana under
her intelligent direction it has done much good.
The object is to supply poor churches with vest
mentS Tor the proper ceiebraio! of reli rouS SER
vices. In poor parishes and IA. ss UnS, where
the congregation can bare 3 afford a ei.tance
for the support Of the priest, it is impossible fur
them 10 buy the vestments which are required
in the Catholic chu rch for the decent celebra-
ton OF mass. II is, therefore, the aim of the
Tabernacle society to help these poor and strug-
Cling parishes. 1t is done more by the judicouS
use of means to an end than by any large sums
of money, which last they have not. The sub
scriptiOn is small, out by buying at wholesale
prices, materials are obtained at the lowest
price. The ladies supply the labor themselves.
The Carroll institute kindly allows them work
rooms in the building, which are open every
day from 10 until 4. All Catholics are made
welcome, and work is as gratefully accepted
money. Adams Express company has con-
ferred a great favor on them by carrying parcels
free, SO that the beneficial les get the whole
good of the money and material contributed.
There is no distinction in regard to any section
of the country. II church is poor and cannot
supply its wants it is recommendation enough.
the society cannot of course give as literally
ii would like, but yet by good will and perse-
verance few petitioners are denied. Besides
Mrs. Vance many Of the most prominent ladies
in Washington give their time and money to
this charity, Mrs. Randall Gibson. Mrs. Linden
Kent, Madame Atocha, Mrs. Norton and num-
erOuS others.

THE ROMANCE CONNECTED WITH THE ARREST
MR.. c. H.. PALMER.


OF MR.. c. y. PALMER.
The Baltimore American Of yesterday
says: 1t turns out that c. II. Palmer, alias Ed
ward Wilson, who was captured by Detective
Seibold near CatOnsville on Saturday and
turned over to the Philadelphia authorities
Sunday charged with stealing a photograph
outfit from James A. Moan, of PhiIadelph
has something romantic about him. Palmer
was doing good business phOtographing near
Germantown. Among the fair faces he trans
ferred to his plates was that of Miss Margaret
FELTON,, whose bright eyes and winning ways
completely captvated Palmer, although be has
a wife and several children. The two decided
to live hencefOrth for each other and skipped
from Germantown to Baltimore. When the
detectives introduced themselves to the pair
at Gainesville, and stated the object OF their
visit, the two lovers were surprised to say the
least. The young lady broke down and cried
all the way back to Philadelphia. Palmer had
opened photograph gallery in Gainesville, and
was preparing to enter upon new life with a
second mate. He brought all the necessary ap-
paratus from Philadelphia. The young lady Is
described as q beautiful creature and exceed
ingly fond of having her picture taken. De-
tective Grey, of the Philadelphia force, deliv-
cred a letter to the erring maiden from her sor-
rowing mother, begging her TO come back home,
and, no doubt, by this time she has been duly
corrected. kissed and forgiven. Palmer's re-
ception by his wife and children will probably
be Of different kind. "There's nothing hall SO
sweet in life as loves young dream"-while 1t
lasts.

Prof. Ward, OF Rochester, In q recent letter to
Mr.. Barnum, respecting the work of preparing
Jumbo's skeleton for exhibition, remarked that
it would be good thing for the Smithsonian
that the work of preparing the skeleton and
mending the skull of the dead elephant would
be done at Rochester, where there are both ex-
perience and appliances for the purpose. Gen.
tIemen connected with the National museum
smiled when STAR reporter called their atten-
ton to this reflection upon the facilities of
the museum. Mr.. Goode, the assistant direc-
tor, remarked:
ave are not rivals of Mr.. Ward In any way.
We are on good terms with him. and frequently
that in the work Of preparation of specimens
the National museum ranks second to no insti-
tuition o: establishment We Win not say that

Mr.. Lucas said, good humOredy:
.'It might be said that either Jumbo was a
very peculiar elephant or that Prof. Wards APP

They say that Ross Raymond, when he was
ut Annapolis the other day, surpassed even his
own old exploits I'm the art of money getting.
He was masqueradng under another name
and as q New York Herald correspondent An
napolis has among its citizens some men OF
means who are crack poker players. Raymond,
early I'm his visit, became acquainted with one
of these and borrowed $50. Two days later he
sat down To play poker with this gentleman OF
mean. Raymond is a child of fortune, and
luck ran his way, that when the game was
over he had every dollar of his opponent-two
or three hundred-and rs he was leaving never
said a word about returning the loan. The next
day Raymond met his friend. 81 Say" he re-
marked, affably, couldn't you loan me $50
until get to baltimore ?" The gentleman of
means by this time smelled a rat and denounced
Raymond q fraud. He took the next train
out of town. His winnings and borrowings to
gether amounted to something like 81 W. The
gentleman who had loaned him the S5I n q
