The church, at the commencement of tbe new year, will resume charge of the publication of the Deseret News, which for some years has Itecii in the hands of the Deseret News Publishing Co. It is understood that Elder Charles W. Penrose will be the chief editor, and II. G. Whitney the new business manuger. Though chosen one of the twelve Apostles, the name of Elder Rudger Clawson was retained at the late stake conference held in lirigham City as the President of the liox Elder stake of Zion. This is no i.ew departure, as several of the Apostles have at different times temporarily presided over stakes, as, for instance, President Joseph F. Smith over Davis stake. The following missionaries who have been laboring in Great liritain left Glasgow for home on the 17th inst: David Thurley, Jesse W. Knight, Jed Stringliam, William I. Ostler, Thomas liennett, W. E.

The Deseret Sunday School Union has adopted a button and badge. The button has a white ground with design In blue. The center of the button shows a beehive supported on the four standard works of the church the llible, liook of Mormon. Rook of Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Ureat Price. Above the beehive is the legend Holiness to the Lord," and beneath Deseret Sunday School Union." The ribbon is light blue with gold lettering. On account of increasing years and impaired health, President C. J. Larsen, of Emery stake, has tendered his d, resignation, the multitudinous duties of a stake president bearing too heavily upon him in his present condition. Elder Reubeu Miller (grandson of the late Dishop Reuben Miller of Mill Creek) one of the presidents of the One Hundred and First Quorum of Seventies, and a resident of Price, Carbon county, is spoken of as President Larsen's successor. The Stake Conference of the Mutual Improvement Association convened in the Salt Lake tabernacle, Sunday morning, November 30. The morning session, being an officers meeting, was devoted exclusively to the hearing of reports. At the afternoon session the names of the officers of the association were presented and auanimously sustained. The speakers at the afternoon session were Elder George M. Cannon, Elder T. A. Clawson. Elder Deekstead, Elder George H. Wallace. Elder Albert White, Elder Moses VV. Taylor. Elder Heber C. lreson, Professor Willard Done and President George Q. Cannon.

The American and Spanish commissions, in agreeing upon January 1 as the date of Spanish evacuation of Cuba took a precedent from the treaty of peace, entered into fifty years ago between Mexico and the United States, when an agreement was made as to the date of the American occupation to cease. Then as now it was known that all the troops could not be embarked by the date agreed upon. Theoretically, the Spanish occupation will eease by January 1, hough it ia believed that 35,000 Spanish troops will still remain in Cuba. These men will continue to occupy their barracks until they leave for tbe peninsula. It was agreed that all arma, save those in position, shall lie returned to Spain. There yet remains to be settled the right of Spain to sell the bronze cannon and to have pay for the public buildings within the islands. General Green expects the first troops to reach Havana about November 35. Colonel Ilecker, who has heretofore counseled delay, now thinks the time has arrived for vigorous action. The weather being settled, he would bring the troops here at once. Stories are current here in Spanish circles that the Cubans at Marianoa, in Dinar Del Rio and at other camps, are burying arms and ammunition for tbb purpose of providing for possible differences with the Americans. It is stated that these arms are being stored in secret hiding places until a definite declaration of policy is made by the American government. The Cubans strongly deny the truth of the rumbrs and of course they cannot he confirmed. MOVE ON HAVANA. Amerlnm Troops to Occupy Spanish Stronghold Wltliln Ten Dnrs. Washington, Nov. 19.

Taey were murderers and had not one redeeming trait They would even rob women on their way to their families at the mines. It was a common trick of theirs to shoot through a mans hat or between his legs merely to enjoy hie terror. One time onp of them shouted to the passengers in the stage as It rolled away: You fellcws nay go and tell all the sheriffs this side of hell that you have been held up by Dan Elkins and George Wilbur. We defy them all. Dan Elkins Is remembered as the original lone bandit of the Southwest, he once held because, up a stage load of eight passengers, besides the driver, all of whom were armed. For weeks tne exploit was the talk of men in and about Tombstone. For ome reason Wilbur was not along with Elkins on a raid one day when the stage was rumbling along through San Miguel pass, and it seemed a lit opportunity fer Elkins to make another raise of money, so he robbed After lie had the stage cleaned out the eight passengers and the treasure box he said: Now, gents, you can brag that d youve been held up by a man In the profesh. 1 dont mind telling you lhat Im all alone today, and that I need your money awful bad. Tell them Tombstone fellers that Dan Elkins has got a new trick in his line o business. During the winter of 1879 and 1880 the reckless and bravado of Elkins and Wilbur became unbearable, and people begnn to see that the stage robberies were hurting the name of Arizona, an unusual effort was made to get tbe rascals. An extra reward for their capture was offered, and two or three detectives from Los Angeles, d Cal., began work. Several Apnche and Indian trailers were hired, and in a few weeks th trail to the bandits was. found. Were trapped! Were trapped!" shouted Elkins, its he Jumped from his couch of leaves and saw the horsemen encircling Ilia biding pla'e. In a second he nnd Wilbur were behind two great oaks and were prepared to fight for their lives. They forgot the Indians in the rear, and no sooner had they turned their facei toward the adducing posse than they were Eliot dead in tbe back by the Apache trailers. cold-blood- ed single-hande- d, single-hande- d. single-hande- half-bree- ltl as pill-mak-e; well-to-d- h, six-inc- twelve-pounder- three-pounde- s, rs horse-powe- r. : DAN ELKINS erts to Los Angeles, in Southern California, rested. As time went on they gave out that they had by chance ore in tbs come upon Santa Rita mountain canons, some 50 miles southwest from Tucson, and across the sandy waste. Onee every week or two the two men rode away from the lazy old Mexican town, apparently for a visit of a few days to their newly found mining claims. In the fall of 1879 highway robberies began to occur along the lines of the stages from Tombstone to Yuma and El Paso. They were always done by two men who wore white masks. They stopped the stage to California three times near Florence, and then the next week the El Paso stage was robbed 250 miles away in another direction. The driver was killed In two Instances, and another time a miner from Tombstone, who was slow in getting out of the coach with his bags of gold dust, was shot dead. One attack was made in the night, and the others at different times at daylight. The government officers watched Elkins and Wilbur nnd were satisfied that they were the highwaymen. The suspects realized this, and left. For some months the stage lines were unmolested, and then suddenly the bold robberies were resumed. These were the work of Elkins and Wilbur, who captured many a big prize in this way. They knew that their Identity was known all over ArWnua. and that rewards aggregating J'000 were out rich-looki- ng EXPLOIT. THE WOMEN OP HOMER. sod Agamemnon Wifa tha Only W Irked Onaa. The Homeric women generally are characterized by a gentle dignity and a refinement in which no modern could show their superiors. are They essentially feminine, without being insipid or inane; their sphere is In the home; their occupation Is In the ministries of wife and mother, of sister and daughter; and in everything that Homer shows us of their relations we recognize a natural warmth of domestic affection and a noble tone of manners. There are. Indeed, two Homeric exceptions to such a standard: but in each case there are touches which render these exceptions fresh proofs of the rule. Nestor refers to the terrible crime of Agamemnon's wife; but in doing so he notes how she had yielded only to the persistence of the tempter Aegiethus: "Verily at the first the fair Clytaem-nestr- a would hare nothing to do with the foul deed; for she had a good unAnd Helen at lenst feels derstanding. a remorse which no reproaches could make Bharper.
