LAKE CITY AS A CRITIC.
The Request for DR.. Kost's Resigna
ton Excites Comment.

The Request for DR.. kOstS ReSiRna-
ton Excites Comment.
LAKE CITY, FLA, July 3O-A district
meeting of the democratic party..was held
Saturday to select delegates to the county
convention to be held on Aug. 4. Harmony
was the rule and a determined purpose to
win was manifest.
The decision of the board of trustees of
the college and experiment station, in the
case of DR.. Kost, is the topic of converse
ton Criticism of the board is freely in
dulged in. They declare in woe DIS that none
of the charges were sustained, yet they say
koSt has committed many serious indiscre-
tions in speech and in acts which impair his
usefulness at the station, and demand his
resignation which has the effect of finding
him guilty Of the charges, thus imposing
upon him the most extreme penalty in their
power. Kost was either guilty or not guilty
If guilty, he should have been dismissed
from the service; if not guilty, he should
have been vindicated and retained i'll his
position as director. But the demand for
the resignation of Drs. Maxwell and
Appel and Profs. Curtis and Ashmead is
rather curious one. The action of the trus-
tees must have been based on the ground
that the professors had been caught In bad
company, for as far as known, there were
no charges against either of them. If
they were elected by the board and held
their positions by virtue of this election,i 1T is
difficult to understand why they were all
requested to resign, unless they had shown
themselves to be incompetent and un-
worthy. Yet they received the same
penalty Kost received, which gives room
for comment and criticism.
The impression here is that DIR. Maxwell
not only made good his charges. with
sufficient proofs, but presented his case in
an able, manly way, so that the character
of the college and the faculty, which was
in great danger, 10y reason of the trouble
with DR.. Kost, has been vindicated. The
interest of the state and the good of the
college required an immediate change in the
dictatorship of the experiment station,
which has been brought about by the timely
interposition of DR.. Maxwells course in the
matter.
Prof. w n. Phillips, highly recon-
mended gentleman of Chase City, Va, aud
a graduate of Richmond college, has been.
elected principal of the Peabody high
school at this place, vice Prof II. Merz, re-
signed.
Mack Henry (colored) was shot ana
killed by some unknown assassin near
Ichetuchnee Friday. 1t was only about
three months ago that his wife was shot
and killed at the same place in the same
candestine manner. Efforts are being
made to apprehend the guilty party.

SAW 1T AND TAINTED.
That Lifelike Portrait of Mr. Lincoln
Wanted for the Capitol.

From the Ne,1 York World.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-The interesting
history of a celebrated oil portrait of
Abraham Lincoln, now hanging in the
room of tho naval committee, was to-day
recalled by the introduction by Senator
Voorhees, of a bill to purchase the picture for
a sum not to exceed $4,000. The artist,
G. w. F. Travis of Frenkfort-on-theM Main,
was the son of a portrait painter OF local
renOwn in Germany who had been a soldier
under Butcher in the Waterloo campaign
Young Travis received military educatl
and also inherited his fathers genius for
portrait painting. In the fall Of 1864 lie
landed in Now York city and offered his
services TO the government. He was on
rolled and sent TO Governors Island, but
upon a medical examin Jon he was re-
jected on account Of pulmonary affection.
Greatly disappointed, he came to Wash
ington, and here conceived the idea of paint
ing the portrait of President Lincoln.
Those to whom he spoke on the subject,
however, considered him a sort of mild
crank and gave him no encouragement.
One day he saw MIR. Lincoln on the street,
and, approaching, introduced himself. He
made a strong appeal to the President in
support of his request for a sitting. tie told
him that he had tried to fight for the
preservation of the nation, but had bpel
denied that privilege He wanted to make
a mark OF some sort i'll the period OF tho
| great crisis and believed he could paint Il
| picture Of Mr. Lincoln which would for
ever IDENTIFY the artist with the issue of the
day. Mr. Lincoln was much touched by
the mans earnestnesS and made an appoint
mont for a sitting. he sat for an hour and
told the artist number of his character
istlc droll STORIES Several other sittingS
We're given and the picture was finally
finished in the artists studio at Frank ort-
on the Main two months after the asSassl-
nation of Mr.. Lincoln.
United States Consul Webster saw the
picture, was astonished at the accuracy OF
the likeness, and purchased it. The painting
remained in the consulate until the spring
of 1876, whom Mr. Webster sent it, with
other paintings, to the Centennial exposl-
ton, where it attracted much attention.
There Mrs Lincoln saw it for the first time,
and coming upon it suddenly, tainted and
fell TO the floor. Upon the death of Mr..
Webster the picture came into the posses
sion of its present owner, Charles W. Hayes
of this city.
