A HAWK SroRY.-A wonderful hawk
story is going the rounds in King
George county now. A short time ago
q King George fisherman and trapper
who lives in the creeks and marshes of
the Potomac-his house being covered
foot-boat-reported that enormous num-
bers of hawks were crossing the Poto.
mac river travelling from the north to
the south. In describing this ''immi-
grafton movement" he stated that
thousands and tens of thousands of
hawks passed over in a single flock"
This part of the story was looked upon
as Munchsusen story, and the crowds
that daily gathered about the store and
steamboat landing, where the old
trapper is the central figure, loved 10
demonstrate their lack of faith in the
hawk story-their constant fidicule of
the statement becoming intolerable and
unbearable to the modern Nimrod.
Meanwhile it leaked out that some
other persons had also seen the "thou-
sands and thousands of hawks" going
southwark, and when the incredulous
crowd again began to ridicule and poke
fun at the trapper about the 'imonstrous
yarn" it was promptly proved that the
vast multitude of hawks which crossed
the Potomac in flock was so great
that no man could number it. 1t is
now said in good faith that the number.
of these birds passing over that section
this fall, 10 their southwark flight APP

A SENSATIONAL DIVORCE SUIT
Social circles in the aristocratic Long
Island town of Astoria have been
shocked by the announcement of d.
yorce suit in one of its best known
families. The charges are of such a
sensational nature that the whole of
Astoria is talking about the suit. The
proceedings were begun by Rae 8.
Johnson, son of ex-assemblyman Henry
G. Johnson, wealthy real estate opera.
tor in Long Island City. He asks Tor
an absolute divorce from his wife on
the statutory grounds, making an un-
named, tall, gray-haired man co-respon-
dent. Mrs. Johnson is near relative
of the late James Redpath, the we'll
known journalist. 1t has come out that
although the couple were married in
1888 and have one child, they have not
lived together as man and wife since
about year after that date. A mutual
desire to avoid scandal evidently pre-
vented suit. Since last summer Mrs.
Johnson has lived in that city, and has
paid only occasional visits to her hus-
bands home in Astoria to see their
child, boy of four years of age. A
detective was employed by the husband
last summer, and succeeded in hiring q
room in the same house with Mrs.
Johnson. There he learned that the
man who paid the rent of the fiat, de-
scribed as tall, grey-haired man, passed
for Mr.. Johnson. Last November the
husband and his brother, with two de-
tectives, stole into the fiat, and upon
their alleged discoveries upon this visit
the presentment is based. The man
who passed as Mr.. Johnson showed
fight, but was subdued by the real Mr..
Johnson and his brother. He escaped,
and has not been identified.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, March Q.
| Snecial-Another week of good weather
hss bean vouchsafed the baseball appli-
cants and a good deal of progress has
been made Captain Nelson Is an earnest
,yorker and takes a deep interest in the
ueIfsre az the team. The players them
selves display an interest which augurs
we'll for the future or the team. The
practice consists In batting the boil
around TO the fielders for half an hour,
and then each man Is called in TO take
a turn at the bat. In the latter point
most of the applicants display a woeful
deficiency. and great improvement must
be made II they hope 10 successfully face
the delivery of Carter, OF Yale, and some
other Of the strong college pitchers.
This is the only cause for very great
uneasiness on the part of the University
of Virginia supporters. In the field Will
Hams and Hunt are having a pretty race
for third base. Hughes and Whaley are
fighting for the guardianship of second
base. At short-stop Garnett has every
thing his own way, since ne Is the sole
applicant for that position.
At first base Nicely stands head and
shoulders above all other candidates.
The following is complete list Of the
applicants:
Catchers: Brown, Cochran, and II. Nell
son.
Pitchers: G. Nelson, Mccormick, J. y.
Baker, VI. +. Cooke.
First base: Nicely
Second haze: Huger and Whaley.
Third base: Williams and Hunt.
Short-stOp: Garrett
Fielders: p Cooke Crenshaw, Kern,
Kincheloe, Lewis. Murrel, II. NJ. Smith.
Il. l.. Smith, Turner, Nertenbaker, VIII
son, Levy, Griffith. Trigg.
From this list are 10 be selected the
men who will wear the orange and blue
this spring and endeavOr TO pile mp fame
for themselves and their university. OF
course most of the baseball "cranks"
have picked out the team already. but
when we consider that only ore member
OF last years team is I'm the arena this
season, that is obviously too difficult a
task 10 attempt so soon The mention
OF this fact makes one realize what a
task Captain Nelson has before him TO
get the team Of entirely new men work
ing together. and to obtain from them
that team work which is so essential
10 a successful season, and which has
contributed so much TO the success of
our former teams. However. every man
is working harder, because no one man
has 'cinch" on any position. and every
one has high hopes of a successful and
brilliant season.
