Tbe present war with Spain led to a most pleasing and profitable discussion in which the various phases of the con flict were carefully gone byer, and some of the great principles underlying such war were spoken of. Trjere is no more any North or South, and! the nation is able to present a solid front of patriotic Americans to the Spanish hordes.

The regular program was thenjtaken up. The first paper on "Williarp Shakespere" was written and read by Miss Elizabeth A. Fox. Thia was a very carefully prepared and critical study of the life of the great dramatist. The writer recounted a visit paid some years ago to the birthplace of tht Bard of Avon, which was full of interest and information.

Next followed an excellently prepared caper by Miss Tillie R. Bowman, on the difficult sulject of the great artist "Michael in which the salient points of his lifo and character were pleasantly, accurately and entertainingly brought out. Both of these papers led to aimo extended remarks on the great dramatist and the great aitist, their worksand peculiarities. The circle next considered the life and teaching of "Mohammjpd," and the "Mohammedanism" which grew out of i which pri to be a very entertaining subject. Mohammedanism believes in many prophets, bnt consider that Ihe great ones were Adam, Ifoab, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohimmcd, because these introduced new laws and dispensations.

In writings they lay great stress on the Pentateuch, "the Pcalms, Gospel and Koran. In all this the teachings of Mohammed and the Koran by far take the precedence. This system pays considerable sttention to angels. Beprlnt from the "Dally Xews" ol Two Decades Asro. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24.

Mrs. Daub is, however, mortally Tiie etory of the cause which seems ti have led Daub to perpetrate tLe crime dates back to more than a year nan when Mr. Arnold was cneatcd in in Noitb Lebanon township. Dauh was hired as help and while employed by the fat hi inacie love to the daughter, Annie. The girt learned to love him ami they were rnarrif on Septembei 12, by Rev.

Father Adam Christ, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic church. The marriage did not prove a happy one nnd several reasons ere given for it. It is said Daub, who was a Protestant, had promised to renounce his faith and become a Catholic, BE the Arnold's were consistent members of St Mary's church. After a time he is said to have rebelled and withdrew his promise and this caused his wife to refuse to live with him.

He is said to have been allowed to seebis wife and child only at intervals and he finally placed the matter in the hands of J. Marshall Funck, eiq, who recently brought an action against the father-in law for alienating the wife's affections. Another story is in effect that Daub after the marriage refused to support his wife and that he rejected the offer of his father-in-law to furnish them a house. When Daub subsequently desired to go to house keeping the old gentleman refused to allow his daughter to live with him. Danb, it is said, recently had Kev.

11, J. Welker, pastor of the Tulpehocken Reformed church, baptize the child during tha abfenco of the Arnold family. It seem? the question ES to the faith in which their children were to bs Uueht had been decided at the time of the marripge and although Daub bad agreed to have all baptized in St. Mary's Catholic church, he secured Kev. We'ker and bad the service performed.

In justice to Eev. Welker we will here say that he knew nothing of any agreement, "i i -i Daub deserted his wife he made many threats against her and her and this coming to the ears Wiiiigru Arnold, one of the sons of the aired couple, who lives on the farm near Daub's home, recently had Alderman Lsndis A. Gerbeiich notify Danb to discontinue making threats or he wouid be placed under bonrs to keep the pecce. This appears to have only ancered Daub the more. When William ArnoM was notified of bis brother-in law's terrible deed he did not go to the home as did brothers, Theodore and Holley, who live on farms in the township, and his sister, Mrs.

Ambrose Seifert.also a resident of the township, but instead armed himself with a shotcun and went in hiding. He believed Daub would come to his place for his hatred of William was bitter and be awaited the murderer's cornice expecting that he would endeavor to destroy life or propelty.
