The Australian Idea.

A novel plan for extinguishins a
church debt has been hit upon in Mel
bourne.
The church committee-or vestry, as
the case may be-divide the total debt
among themselves and each man insures
his life for the amount that falls to his
share. The policies are transferred to
the church, and the annual payments
on them are made out of the collections.
Then, of course, as the members OF
committees drop of" the sums insured
on their lives drop in, and later, when
the last committeeman is dead, the last
installment OF the church debt will I've
paid. The plan has the merit--if merit
it be--of throwing the whole of the
responsibility for the continuance OF the
indebtedness upon Providence.

A RUSSIAN ROMANCE.
Walter Besant's Shortest Story and On
Of IIis Best.

Walter Besant's Shortest Story and One
OF His Best.
Walter Besant, the English aovelist,
in a note received from him by the
Philadelphia Press. says: Here Is u
true story which does not belo1g to my
correspondence. but think it very in
teresting. l give it as It was told to
rie: A certain young Russian, of good
family. fell in love with a village girl.
whom he wished to marry. His father.
objecting on the ground of social dis
parity, made arrangements by which
the girl was betrothed to n young peas
ant of her own class.
Now, 1t is the custom in some parts
OF Russia for the bridegroom and his
friends to begin drinking early in the
day of the marriage, SO that when the
time comes for the church cerem ony
the groom has often to be led to the
altar and supported by friend on
either hand. This happened on the
morning Of the marriage OF the girl.
The bridegroom was led to the altar
and supported by two men, OF whom
one was the young gentleman himself.
Now mark his craft and subtlety.
When the time came for joining hands
he put out his own hand. the groom
being too far gone to notice anything,
and so was joined in matrimony to the
girl. The certificate Of the marriage
had already been written in the register
before tho ceremony, a precaution OBJ
viously necessary.
Tho wedding over, the young noble
took the girl from her people at the
church door, drove her away, and took
her to Paris, where they lived togeth-
er in amity for several years.
Then the father died, and It be-
came necessary to return to Russia,
and, II possible. for the sake OF the
children, to get the marriage duly
acknowledged.
This business was intrusted to 9
lawyer, who visited the village and
saw the register. He returned, stat
ing that 1t was impossible. because the
marriage was entered in the books az
between tho rustic and the girl. Be
ing. however, assured that something
must be done he returned, got posses
sion of tho register, and clumsily
erased the name OF the rustic bride
groom. This done heat this point
you ask what he did. and everybody
says. Filled in the other name No
he did not; he wrote again over the
erasure the name OF the village swain
He did not therefore. forge the record,
but If his noble clieHt afterward found
1t desirable TO assert that some ont
had done so the fact of the erasurt
would be apparent"

improvements have been placed on the
plant.
It is estimated that during the last
ten years about $4,000. 900 have been
taken out OF the mines. Owing to q
strike among the miners for three shifts
a day at 81 shift the plant has not
been worked to its fullest capacity
for some time. It was an outgrowth of
the fight between the owners and
miners, which led to the foul
assassination Of Editor Penrose, OF the
Butte Daily Miner, a few days ago. 1!
is understood that the English syndicate
will accept the terms of the miners
union and ut once work the mines to
their fullest. According to experts
there is now enough ore in sight for
an output of 1,0O0 tons daily for ten
years.
