First Photographic Portrait Posed
for by Miss Dorothy Catherine Drn-
per Many Years Ago.
When Dorothy Catherine Draper,
who died at Hastings last week, posed
for the first photogr aphic portrait Of a
person, shortly after Daguerre's an
nouncement, in 1889, of his discovery Of
the action of sunlight on silver, her
face was busted with a fine white pow
der, that the impression might be the
clearer. The first Photographic por-
trait ever made is still in existence. 1t
is owned by Lord Herschel's heirs in
England The photographer was Miss
Diapers distinguished brother, John
w. Draper, who succeeded DR.. Valen
tine Mott as president of New York
Universitys medical college. Miss
Draper lived to see the experiment in
which she took part develop into one Of
the most important arts. There have
been other men who have alleged that
they. were first in applying Daguerre's
discovery to Photographic portraits.

A REPUBLICAN SPLIT.

DARADOXICAL though it may seem,
beer was the rock on which the
Young Mems Republican club split All
of us have heard that charming re-
frain:
Beer, beer, glorious beer.
Don't be afraid of it,
Drink till you're made of il.
Fill yourselves clear up to here.
'Here" in the beer lyric means neck
SO the wondrous amber fluid brought
on dissension. Beer is funny that way.
Sometimes it turns an ordinarily morose
man into a charming, good-natured
gentleman; sometimes it transforms a
sunny tempered being into a quarrel
some bear. Taken up one side and
down the other that is, taken up on
one side Of a bar and put down on the
other side, beer has caused lots Of
trouble in its day.
Saltair is peerless. The executive
committee of the club had chosen Salt
air as the place for the clubs outing
The committee reckoned without the
irrigationists. The latter failed to see
how IL would be possible 10 nave
Republican love feast without some
fluid to induce sociability. They fig
ured that it takes about twelve beers
to make one Republican, ana that no
good party man would so where he
could not be rebaptized. The fight, ac-
cording to all accounts, was worth go
ing a long way to see.
Orson Hewlett accused the tellers of
stuffing the ballot box when he dis
covered that the verdict was against
the peerless faction, but as Orson sells
soda water and chewing gum he was
hooted down. No man who deals in
soft drinks ara face developer has any
business in a Republican club, anyway.
Maybe the clans viii hold separate
outings. That would be a happy solu-
ton of the difficulty.

TO PREVENT HooDLUMIsM,

Mr.. LANGTON. manager Of saltair
W Beach. objects to The HeraId's
editorial. commenting on the hood
lumism at the Short Line depot the
other evening when James II. Moyle
was assaulted by toughs. What The
Herald was getting at was the hood
lumism that has been rampant at the
depots on the arrival of late trains
from the resorts-not Saltair alone. but
ell of them-and TO remedy and pre-
vent which the Lagoon management
has employed a special policeman. Mr..
Langton says that the trouble oc-
CURED outside the limits Of the depot
grounds on a street car-all Of which
is perfectly true and was so told in
The Heralds news story Of the Incl
dent. The Herald suggested that both
Chief Paul and the Saitair manage
ment take steps to prevent attacks of
this character in the future, and by
way Of showing what can be done the
action Of the Lagoon management was
instanced. Though this assault oc-
CURED outside OF the depot grounds
and was committed by men who had
not been at Saltair. its effect, so far
as the saltair management is con-
oerned, is almost as bad as If the mall
treated persons had been assaulted on
a train coming from the lake. II a
person cannot go to Saltair and re-
turn home without being subjected to
verbal abuse or physical attack-no
matter at what point along the way
he won't make a practice OF visiting
Saltair.
IL would involve an expense. that
should be met by the city. for the Salt
air management TO employ a special
policeman to protect people at the
depot and TO the street cars. but it
would be far better and more profit
able for them to do this than to per
init exhibitions Of hOodIunism in which
their patrons are the sufferers. The
Herald has none but the kfndIiest feel
ings for Saltair. Indeed. in a broad
sense, in common with the people Of
Salt Lake. it feels a sort of proprietary
interest in tie famous resort. And in
common with the people Of Salt Lake
Sc believes that the management-fafl-
ing efficient police protection from
the city-should police trains and street
cars at the depot until hoodlumism
shfll be completely stopped.

AmERIcAHs' PREPAREDNESS.

THE SPIRIT that won for the United
states the admiration Of the world
during the Martinique disaster has
been repeated on q small scale in Utah
this week. Shortly before noon on
wednesday The Herald buliedued the
fact that the town Of Nercur had been
practically destroyed by fire. Four
hours later a relief train was on the
WAY to the scene of the disaster, and
al 9 O'Clock that night provisions Of
every character we're being distributed
among those who needed them.
Nor did the supplies go from Salt
Lake alone. Provo. Lehi, American
Fork. Sunshine. Eureka and other
cities contributed with that prompt
willingness to help the distressed which
is a distinctly American characteristic.
Citizens of the United States never
waste time in investigation when Oc-
casions OF this kind arise. All they
want to know is whether or not help
is needed. A mere suggestion is suf
ficient to open their hearts and their
purses, to start all their energies into
quick and effective activity.
Before France realized the Martin
ique horror a shipload Of supplies was
hurrying from an American port to
the distressed city. 1t carried stores.
medical supplies. food, clothing, every
thing that by any possibility might be
needed there. The cargo was collected
within a space Of time that could have
been measured in minutes. England
was just beginning TO think about re-
lief. France was still in a daze when
the American vessel landed at Mar
Unique and began the work Of relief.
So Il was with Mercur. So it ever is
IN this country whenever and wherever
there is want. aHliction and misery. Be
fore Mercur asked for aid it was on the
way 70 the city; before the citizens
realized that they were hungry and
homeless. the means to satisfy their
wants was at hand. Something in the
air they breathe makes Americans gem
erous- And they are also independent
The Mercur people, even in their eN-
tremiry, were independent. They were
willing TO accept supplies, but they also
announced their willingness to pay
for them. and for other things they

May the spirit never die out. It is

the sheriff put a pair Of highly expen-
sive bloodhounds on the trail. They
overlook Wykoff, but instead Of eating
him up they made friends with him.
Before the sheriff could come up
Wykof sold the dogs 70 a farmer for
s. and went on his way rejoicing. A
day or two later. just TO show his good
intentions. Wykon came back, slipped
into the sheriffs barn and stole the
laprobe and cushions from the official
buggy. He would have taken the barn
also if it had not been a particularly
solid structure. Finally WyBom was
captured in Wisconsin and taken back
to Ohio for trial.
Nothing was said about his exploits
after breaking jail but, on the charge
Of forging the tobacco order, he was
found guilty and sent to the peni-
tertiary. He claimed the reward from
the jail contractors. but they refused
to pay it on the ground that Wykoft
had had help from the outside. This
was manifestly absurd, for Wykof
showed that he could help himself. bet
ter than anybody could help him. He
brought suit for the 500, but the courts
ruled against him.
Now efforts are being made TO Sc
cure his release. On his behalf it is
asserted that he has stolen nothing
from the prison where he is confined
and that he is entirely cured of the
appropriation habit However, Ohio
people viii be inclined to look upon
his conversion with more or less doubt.
If he should be set free they win have
to employ private watchmen by the
dozen and then other watchmen TO see
that Wykoff doesn't steal the first set.

THE CASE OF WYKoFF.

WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST desire
to interfere with any mans pros
poets for liberty. The Herald wouM
sound a warning against the granting
Of a pardon to one a. z. Wykoff, who
is serving a term in one Of the Ohio
peniteutiaries. Wykof was put
away for ten years because he forged
an order for % cents worth Of tobacco.
This in itself is sufficient TO prove
what a desperate character Wykon is.
but that isn't all.
The story goes that he was the first
prisoner confined in the new Jail at
West Onion, o. The contractors who
built the structure offered a reward Of
500 to the first man who succeeded
in breaking out. Within less than
tventy-four hours after his iucarcer-
alton Wykoff was out and away. The
moment his absence was discovered
