SPEAKING FOX A MEDAL.
The Evolutionary Contest at St. Johns
College.

The Evolutionary Contest at St. Johns
College.
The senior Evolutionary contest Of st. Johns
College for the college gold medal took place
last night in the hall before large audience.
1t was an interesting contest throughout and
quite exciting toward the close. The recita-
tions were well selected and creditably de-
livered.
The decision was given to David Stewart
Waters, who recited ''The Death Bed Of Bene-
diet Arnold, and received a marking Of 80 sc
per cent. ]. Edward Bullock came second,
with rating of So 40 per cent, which he made
by his good rendition OF the "Battle Of Fonte-
noy:" Louis p McKenna was third, with
percentage of 1886. He recited 1.-The Moor 6
Revenge" and did it in manner that evoked
great applause. Jos. ]. Murphy was fourth
with q marking of $3.50 per cent, although had
the decision been left with the audience he
would undoubtedly have been higher He took
Irish Aliens" for his subject and rendered it
with much spirit. As Louis Mckenna and Jos
Murphy have each tied for the honor a third
contest will be required between them and
David Waters
The judges were Mr.. Justice Martin F. Nor
ris. I. A. Lambert, esq, Mr.. Josiah Pierce, jr.,
Prof. Webster Edgerly, F. Z. Arnold, S. Z.
Tomlinson and VIM. II. DeLacy. The recep-
ton committee comprised John A. Rover,

Minister Baker Heard Prom.

The concern felt in official circles at the con-
tinued silence Of Minister Baker at Managua,
Nicaragua, was dispelled late yesterday
afternoon by the receipt by Secretary
Gresham Of cable message from the minister,
who telegraphed by way of Salvador that war
ship was needed at Corinto. OF course he was
ignorant OF the fact that the U. s. S. Alliance
was Fastening to that point He further said
that the war between the government and tho
revolutionists will probably become bitter, ms
the revolutionists are aggressive and powerful.
No news has reached the State Department in
dicating that the American residents of Mo
aragua are being treated with hardness, a. was
reported in kilograms by way Of Salvador.

KBiG DAWD'S FRIEND.
BY WAITER DESANT.

His excellency drew near. Jack leaned forward Q little and lifted his hat, not with tho idea of catching his eyes at all, but the governor saw him saw him-and he stopped suddenly, turned white and reeled.
 Ut is nothing" ho said, recovering quickly. "The heart-a sudden faint ness. Let us go on."
 The procession went on. But the governor looked back once more into the crowd. For he had seen, after seventeen years, standing among the common people, tho old friend of his youth, by whose act and deed he him self was what he was and where he was.
 "Ile recognized me-" said Jonathan, striding away. "IIe caught my eye and he knew. me. I saw him change color and stop. Strange meeting after so many years! He will send for me to- morrow, and we shall have talk. Of course he will trust me still Should l give him that paper? think not"
 So while the new governor enter taincd tho legislative council at ban quct. his old friend sat at dinner in his cabin and coutcntedly munched his cur ried beef and drank his sour claret and water and congratulated himself on the beauty and the happiness of the wife
