The Blind Bride.

We know not who invented this
instrument of horse torture. bnt
we know he did not understand
The epafemv pnd ,hvo'.aocv If
the eye OF the horse Human vi
sion Is binocular--that il we see
the same object with both orr
eyes, and so adjust the axis Of Vi
sion that the object appears single
though seen with both eyes. But
the eyes OF the horse are placed on
the sides of the head, and the AK
Is of each Is nearly at right angles
with the longitudinal line OF the
body, so thatit IL impossible that
the same object can be made seerg
by both eyes. Now, by binding
the eye in the direction In which
1t was inteded, in it's construction
that should see, it Is forced to use
an oblique vision, as If we should
cover tue front OF our optics and
be compelled to see only by the
corners of our eyes. Tnis unnat-
ural and constrained use of the
eyes must to greater or Tess ex,
tent impair vision, IL not entirely
disiroy 1t. The object for which
the blind-bridle is used is not ac-
complished by 1t. A horse is
more readily frightened when he
cannot see the object of his dread.
than Ii he can have a fair view Of
1t. But it ia surprising to observe
with what tenacity men will hold
on to on absurd and cruel practice
when moments reflection should
teach them better. Nineteen out
OF every twenty horses you see in
harness have blind-bridles on,and
II you ask the owners to explain
its benefits, or why he uses 1t, no
will be utterly unable to give RAJ
tional answer. We are not sur
prised that draft horses are sub
ject to diseased eyes-we rather
wonder that they are not blind

Improvement OF st. Paul's Lutheran
Church.

st. Pauls English Lutheran Church, OF this
city, has just finished the recent improve.
ments. The outside OF tho building has been
entirely remodeled and transformed In appear.
ance. The towers have been finished, the walls
resurfaced with coating of artificial stone,
upper portion In white, basement In brown
sandstone finish Special credit is due to the
architect, j. q. Myers, esq, who designed these
Improvements, and under whose superintend.
ence all has reached completion. A substan.
tial iron fence has been constructed around
both church and adjacent parsonage. This
takes In the public parking, and affords COM
plete protection against the vandalism with
which public buildings are so often visited In
the DETACHMENT and injury done to walls and
surfaces In unprotected places. Tho Inside of
the church has.also received all needed attcn-
ton In the way OF painting and re.fresco where
needed. The old outside steps have been
taken away, new front and vestibuc en-
trance have been erected, and 80 the incon.
venioncc and discomfort OF the past have been
succeeded by the convenience and comfort of
the present improvements.
ST. Pauls was organized January ., 1913.
The cornerstone of the building was hid June
IL, 1914. Gen. Van Ness, the donor OF the lot,
and mayor of the city, with ex-President j. Q.
Adams, headed the procession on that occasion.
Rev. Septlmus Tustln, ID. D., then Chaplain to
the U. s. Senate, was also present, and took
part IN the services. The building was finished
and dedicated to sacred uses on the LIST Of
October, 1913. Rev. +. w. Conrad, then Of
HuScfstOWn, Mu., preached the sermon or
dedication. President Polk and his Secretary
of State, James Buchanan, together with u
number of army and navy officers, graced the
occasion with their presence, and manifested
their interest In the enterprise by their con.
tributions. Since that time many changes have
come along tho history Of the congregation,
and various improvements have been made at
different periods. Sixteen years ago n new
enterprise was started In the laying of the
cornerstone Of the Memorial Church, on Four
teenth street. Subsequently large number OF
the members OF this congregation united with
the new church, while the mother church con.
tinucd In the limo of advancement az best
she could. About 500, 900 were contributed by
the congregation before its separation toward
the church enterprise on Fourteenth street.
Seven years ago the present pastor, Rev. DIR.
Domer, took charge OF 81. Paul's. The inside
OF the church was refitted and re-frescoed some
four years ago. The present improvements
are the best of any that have ever been made
In the history OF the congregation. The cost OF
the late work Will be about $500. Rcv. DR..

The Birmingham ALA papers tell of u
blind miner named W. A. Graves of
Georgia, in that fcgion, who is as efficient
as any other in digging coal, He works
without lamp, rs that would be of no
benefit to a person deprived of cycsight.
The coal mined by this man is said to be as
clear from slate and dirt as that of any one
employed in the mines and the yield from
his room as great as that of other miners.
His little son leads him to the mines and
into his workroom, and then leaves his
father during the day, who digs coal, separ-
ates it from the dirt and other substances,
keeps the roof of his room propped up, loads
the small cars and pushes them out to the
main track as well as if he possessed the
sight of two persons

The Abduction of Joe Cropscv.s Chill.

CRITIC reporter to-day sought out Joe
Cropsey to learn from him the correct story of
the abduction Of his two daughters from this
city, which for some unknown reason has nj.
ways been kept from the public. Mr.. Cropsey

ago and came TO Washington, with view to
Improving their fortunes. Sanford had q deaf

daughters, aged respectively and IL years.
Mr.. Cropsey informed THE CRITIC that n little
more than nine weeks ago the partners had
started to return to Baltimore in wagon

his wife and Cropsey with his children. As
the wagon was going out Seventh street, the
children complained OF hunger and their
mther went Into store TO buy them some food,
and on coming out of the store some time later,
found that the wagon had been driven Off and
was out OF sight. The case was Immediately
reported 10 the police, and Cropsey himself has
been travelling through Maryland and Vir-
gininia on foot constantly ever since, but has
never seen his children or their abductOrs.
Yesterday Mr.. Cropsey received Information
that that the wagon, containing his little
daughters, had started In the direction of Bal
timore and would probably reach that city to-
day, and he has telegraphed to the police IA
arrest the parties and feels hopeful of recover
Ing his children to-day.

District Government Notes.

Attorney Riddle has submitted an impor.

sidewalks In Washington and Georgetown, IN
which he states that the section Of the act of
Congress OF May 81, 1862, which authorizes
sidewalks is, In his opinion, repealed by sub.
sequent legislation, and at present the law re-
quires the laying OF sidewalks TO be done In
the same way as the paving OF streets, by the
District and at the public expense, and does
not permit the issuing Of special assessments
against the property adjoining or supposed to
be benefited
