The Board Recommends an Increase in
the Number of Cadets.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-sepator Bate,
chairman of the board of visitors to
West Point military academy, to-day
presented the report Of the board to
the senate. The report takes strong
ground in favor OF a change of the law,
which will increase the number OF
cadets to 400, or one cadet for each
senator and representative and twenty
for the President, instead of the present
number, which is about $50. II is ad.
mitted that this increase would prob.
ably result in larger plumber Of grad
yates than could find officers places in
the army, but 1t is suggested that as
the additional cost would be very
slight, the country could we'll afford to
increase the number for the benefit to
be derived in purely educational way.

Slower, Of Fargo. n. D., who has report
ed more celebrated divorce cases during
the pact year than any man 10 the
country, is touring in the northwest
Fargo. he says, has grown to be the
Mecca which the unhappy married peo-
pie Of the country seem bent on reach

in North Dakota, he said:
"The general public has little idea Of
the magnitude OF this infant industry.
The number Of pilgrims reaches start
ling figures. A careful estimate made
recently after visit to all the lawyers
in the city places the total number who
are serving time preparatory to filing
actions for separations as upwards OF
ninety.
These people are mostly residents Of

they are all possessed OF wealth and
prominence. who prefer 10 journey to

constitution OF North Dakota requires
but three months residence prior to the
commencement OF an action for divorce.
Several utra.fashionable hotels and
boarding houses Of Fargo accept no
patrons who are not members OF the
colony. The money spent in this city
by these seekers after single blessedneis
reaches many Thousands of dollars an-
nually.
Among the many cases soon to be
heard there is one which will shake
New York from centre to circumfer-

plaintiff, with Bourke Cochran as his

Pennsylvania within about 80 miles of
the southern state line. A month later
two other men arrived, and it was not
only given out that the three were broth
ers but they resembled each other so
closely that there could be no doubt
about it, The country at that time was
very sparsely settled, and it was only at
long intervals that any one visited the
Hapgood cabin. Once week one of the
brothers, who came to be known as JO-
seph, William and Thomas, made his
way down to the hamlet of Mercersburg
for supplies, and after a year or so it
came to be known that they had secret

will never be known, but the legend
along TuscarOra mountain is that they
hoped to make gold or diamonds.
One day, after the Hapgood brothers
had been on the mountain year or so,
Joseph appeared in Mercersburg and
stated that William had disappeared in
a mysterious manner and asked for as

house and were given all particulars
