PHOTOGRAPHED IN CHURCH. How an Kutorprlslug ArtUt Socured Pic tures of President and Mm. Cleveland. (Special to (he N?w York World.) Washington, February 7.?For tho vast few days a Cincinnati artist has been here oarrying a letter-box under his arm that had every appearance of an infernal maohino. On more than one oooasion the young ma.\ has boon taken for a crank. For two days he has been under polioe espionage and was at last compelled to exhibit the oontents of the mysterious box. Instead of its being a dangerous oontrivanoe it proved to uo only a simplo and harmloss deteotivo camera, such as is used by amateur pho tographers, which ho had boon oarrying around the city for the purpose of using on the prominent public mon and their wives. Yesterday no was at tho White House with his maohino, but was not allowed to tako it beyond tho vestibule. He was doaiious of scouring an instan taneous photograph of Mrs. Clovoland at her reoeption. This morning the artist stationed him self at the door of Dr. bundorland's church to await tho arrival of the Presi dential oarriage, rooognizing that this would doubtless bo his only opportunity of securing a photograph of the Presi dent's wife in street oostume. It was not long until the oarriage arrived at tho church door containing the Presidont and Mrs. Clovoland. As tho party alighted the artist set the mechanism of the mysterious box in motion and it was performing its work. Mrs. Cleveland saw tho artist and the box. In a moment she appreciated the situation. As quiok as thought she wreathed her face with smiles, looking at the young man and the box, which he still held half oon coaled under his arm, bowed politely as if to thank him for his enterprise, and passed into the church. The President also saw the maohino and looked dis Sleased. After the sermon had begun 10 artist seated himself in the church gallery and suoooodod in getting three exoellent photographs of Mrs. Clevoland and the President as they appeared in churoh. IT 8MKIXS OF WAR. l'owdere-Makera Preparing for the Con teniplatcd Conttlot. (From the Philadelphia Hooord.) As a straw that shows whioh way the European war wind blows, the people of Wilmington are attaohing a great deal of importanoe to the unusual activity at the Dupont Powder Mills on the Bran dywine, a fow miles from that oity. The will* hate nevor in their history been more busy, and the men are worked night and day in some parts of the great establishment, whioh is turning out black powder such as soldiers use in war by the tons. Tho powder-makers aro told that the orders now on hand oannot bo filled fast enough, and theso indica tions of an unprecedented demand for tho artiolo have strengthened tho ourront belief that the Duponts aro shipping Urge quantities of explosives to i ranoe or Germany, and that the war in Eu rope is coming surely in tho spring. The omoti of the Kupauuo Ohemfoal Works at Thompson's Point, N. J., is situated now in Wilmington, and it can bo stated . jriUi poBitivene.HB jtyafc. tfafiif..ffllfllfl? , at which tho most destructive explosives in the world aro manufactured, are as busy as the Dupont works. The mills of the lattor oompany are the tfiost famous in the world, and havo most always furnish od a large proportion of powder to Europoan nations on tho eve of a war. Just before thoy Franoo Prussian war the mills were run on extra time, as is the rose now, and this was taken then, as now, to be a protty sure harbinger of war. Tho Duponts are very oautious when tho newspaper men aro around, and they say to all suoh in quisitive people that they are not export ing large quantities of powder, but in noarly every instanoe when their mills havo Men busiest, and just before an European strugglo, the same reply has boon made to the press. They do not deny, however, the unusual aotivity at the mills, but declare in an indifforont sort ol way that the powder is for the powder is for the ooal regions. If this be true there is promise of an extraordi nary. ooal supply and cheap fuOl this spruag. Knowing pooplo at Wilmington, however, smile whon the ooal region story is told, and deolare that it Is a musty old ohestnut. Gu?rde<l for Her Diamonds.

It seems to me thie fc tatong a fcreat deal of tronblc for a little display. 2 cannot imagine anything more nnoomfortable than to be! under the eve* of four detectives for an entire evening.

Borne particular offense or orimo strikes a deeper, darker horror to tho mind of ono porson more than another; but there aro a few deeds so muoh moro damning than all others, that their more montion thrills the heart, bouI and mind with a cold, shivering, shuddering horror.

IN8TKAI) OF HKING IIANGKD. What Kloctrlclans Buy of Taking Llfo by of n Buttery. (From the N#w York Stnr.) Bomo Now York pliysioiana think that improvements in hanging aro urgontly noedod. They want to make the death penalty easy, pleasant and delightful. Electricity has boon proposed by them for capital nunishmopt, and tho Legisla ture yosterday oonsidorod a )>ill to sub stitnto the olectrio battery for the hang man's rope. An eLeotrioian at tho Edson building in Pearl street, where elootrioity is man ufactured for illuminating purposes, was yesterday asked how people might be killod with neatness ana dispatch by electricity. He said that it was tho easiest jnattor in tho world. All a , con demned maa would have to do at the hour and moment whon ho was to leave the world for brighter olimes, would bo k> take hold of two wires, one connected with a positive battery arid tho other with a negative battory. Aoting thus as a oonduotor between tiio two wires tho eleotrioity would go tlirough him liko a stroke of lightning. Ho would\lio in an infinitesimal fraotion of a second. His taking off would bo as painloss as it was sudden. He would n6ver know what had hit him. He might stand on two plates, receive the oleotrio current through his toes and dio with his boots on. He miglit sjfe in a chair with his feet resting on the platos and dio oomfortably, Killing the oondemned by eleotrioity is a humane, civilised and scientific way of disposing o! them. A man is usually sixteen minutes in dying at the end of a hangman's rope, and he usually suffers a great daal before death comes to reliovo him. A on?^M)J battery would kill all tho prisoners who will oyer bo hanged in the Tombs under tho present tow.
