The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1879-11-27
Exhibits at the Portland Fair.
From the Portland Daily Bee. |
PROF. W. LYNN WHITE.


One of the most attractive features
of the Fair is the display of pen art by
w. Lynn White, of the National
Business College of this city. The real
artistic merit and exquisite delicacy of
this work in all the departments of pen
art must be seen to be appreciated. His
blackboard writing exhibited in the slate
department of Mr.. Parshall attracts
much attention. This black board writ
ing was executed entirely with the free
or whole arm movement without second
trial in any line or dot, and is a marvel
of skill. Mr.. Whites reputation as a
skillful artist-penman and as an in
structor in the various branches of the
art, has become a national one. He has
received orders from all parts of the
Union for pen work, and hundreds of
letters from the most prominent artists,
penmcn, teachers and authors, testifying
that they have never seen his work ex-
celled This collection Of testimonials
in the hand writing Of the most eminent
penmen Of the world, is an interesting
study and well worth seeing. Mr.
White extends cordial invitation 20 all
who are interested in the art to visit his
office and examine these letters and
other works OF art. He has lately pub
lishcd work on penmanship, entitled
the Pen King, which is spoken of east
and vest by the most competent judges
as being in mc,hod and artistic merit
the best work on the art over pub
ished.

City Treasurer Francis Vincent tells
us that Albert A. Montpelier; the young
gentlemen whose death and burial
caused such excitement in our city, was
not accused of any crime, as rumor has
inferred, in proof of which he cites this
passage from a letter from his father to
him:
"The unfortunate yeung man has done
no harm to any body tha 1 know Of but
himself. In spite or the good advice and
my earnest applications; the death OF
hisdear mother ten years ago, wasan IRE
