The crops-guns are of n new pattern, having us a center piece n kevstone to designate the brigade, red, white and blue being respectively for the First, Second and Third brigades. it Is very probable, according to a statement made by Adjutant General Stewart, to Adjutant D. 13. Atherton, that the whole provisional guard will be taken to Philadelphia October 27, on tho occasion of the peace Jubilee. PLEASANT SOCIAL EVENT. Conducted by the Enterpslse Danc ing Class Last Night Tho opening social of tho Enterprise Dancing class was held In Excelsior hall on Wyoming avenue la.it night and was attended by about seventy couples it was one ot the most enjoyable and successful socials ever conducted by tho class, Professor Harry D, Taylor, who Is the class Instructor, had charge of the dancing and Miss Nellie Curran furnished the music, MAKES IMPOSITION . ' HARDLY POSSIBLE STEPS TAKEN TO ESTOP COSTS ON FICTITIOUS CASES. County Commissioners on the Sug gestion of Solicitor Knapp, Will Hereafter Require from Constables and Justices of the Peace Certain Oaths and Information That Will Make the Collection of Costs on Fictitious Cases a Dangerous Pro ceeding Judge Knapp's Letter. Not that they suspect for an Instunt that any alderman or Justice of the peace would do such a thing, but Just to make assurance doubly sure by re moving the temptation, the county commissioners will hereafter require with each return of a discharge case a lot of oaths tint! Information concern ing It, removing thereby the existing facility for sending In llctltlotts cases. They will also, In the future, decline to pay costs 011 cases amicably settled. At present a discharged case is re turned on an ordinary transcript and In most Instances all that the tran script bears Is a statement that "John Smith wus arraigned before me, nn al derman etc., on the charge of assault and battery pteferrtd by James Brown and en account of lnsutllclent evidence, defendant was discharged." There Is nothing to tell who the parties are, who the witnesses were or whether or not costs were not already collect ed from the parties, because of the set tlement being amicable. Under tho new order of things tho addresses of the parties and nil tho witnesses must bo given und the alderman In addition Is required to make oath that the dis charge was not the result of amicable settlement. LETTER FROM SOLICITOR. This decision on tho part of the com missioners was arrived nt yesterday ufter the receipt and consideration of the following communication from lion. 11. A. Knapp. county solbitor. to whom was referred a big gust of these discharge cases: To the County Commissioners of Lacka wanna County. Gentlemen: 1 return herewith US!: tran scripts, from tho vurlous aldermen and Justices of the peaco of this county, of what purport to be discharged cases. Tho proceedings in these cases are cer tified to by the ofllccrs upon Dlaiiks which wcro prepared for an entirely dlllcient purpose, to wit: For the putposu of cer tifying proceedings, where the defendants were required to give ball, and the proper changes have rot been made In any ot these, transcripts to make them conlorm to the actual facts In the crse. It will, therefore, appear tint the trun scripts are not consistent with them selves, each case first stating that, on ac count of lnsutllclent evidence the de fendant was discharged, and then going on in the printed form of the blank to state that the defendant was required to glvo ball, conditioned for his nppcaianco at the next term of court. Some time ago In u written communica tion to your n 111 co I disapproved of the practice of paying the costs of these dis charged cases which were certitied on theso Improper blanks, nnd t am not will ing any longer to approve of these pro ceedings. The enormous increase In the number of these discharge cases certainly gives rise to strong smplclnns that costs are being claimed from the county in cases where no legal obligation ovists. If upon the hearing of a criminal case before a magistrate, the parties arrange their dlt ferences nnd come to an amicable settle ment of th"1 case, tills should not be re turned ns a discharge i;ise and costs claimed from the county, as It does not come within the meaning and intent of tho act of assembly. Fl'HTIlKU RECOMMENDATION. T would further recommend that magis trates be required to give the address of the defendant and prosecutor, together with the names and address of the wit nesses sworn in the case, and to append to each transcript an allldavlt In the following form, to wit.: being duly sworn says: That he Is a in and for , In the county or Lackawanna, and stato of Pennsyl vania; that a criminal prosecution was Instituted before him upon tho complaint of against upon a charge of , and that upon a hearing had before him on the day of , A. D. IS, tho said churgo npptnred to him to be un founded end the defendant was dls charged. No costs whatever were paid to tho said magistrate or constable by cither party to said criminal proceeding; said criminal proceeding was not set tled amicably between tho parties, by the payment of money or otherwise; tho said case was a bona fldo case, and the names and addresses of the prosecutor and de fendant and of the various witness sworn in tho said cause appear on the tran script accompanying tills ntlldavit; and tho said transcript Is a true and correct transcript of all the proceedings had be fore mo In said case Sworn nnd subscribed before me, tho day of , IS. I would advlso that this affidavit vvnuM be required before any further costs are claimed or paid by the county upon dis charge cases. AMOUNT OF COSTS. The costs taxed in each case is about S3, but a number of magistrates figure 57 end $S as the amount to which they crd their constable are entitled. One magistrate alone has eighty of these cases and his bailiwick Is a ward of such little Importance that It Is not divided Into districts. The costs he had taxed up amount to over $300.

Di'ggan, agent of tin board of associated charities, has a pe tition which is signed by several cler gymen of the cltv nnd Is addressed to Mayor Bailey, asking him to take such steps as may be necessary to root out tho dance-hall evil In the city. The first name on the petition Is that of Ht. Rev. M. J. lloban, coadjutor bishop of Scranton, and following his come tho names of Rev, Dr. James Mo Leod, of the First Presbyterian church: R.;v. Dr. Charles E. Robinson, of the Second Presbyterian church; Rev. C. M. Glirin, of Elm Park church: Rev. N. J. McMa1v.1s.ot Holy Rosary church, Providence; Rev.

The petition does not specify any particular resort, but complains In a general way of the several places where girls of tender years are al lowed to attend dances. In her work among the vnfortunater, Mrs. Duggan llnds that the downward path in a majority of the Instances begins at the cheap dance hall. She was Informed a few days ago of an Incident that occurred on Wash ington avenue near tho corner of Lackawanna at 1.3C a. m. A business man had occasion to go to New York on an early morning train, and on his way to the station he saw a girl not over lfi years of age striving to steady a drunken young man, who every now and then would embrace her, and utter profane nnd repulsive language. Mrs. Duggan has knowledge that will bo of material assistance to the mayor In w hatever course he may adopt to wipe out the evil. The dance housa evil, according to reports, Is on tho In crease. There are several halls In the city where socials and dances are giv en at frequent Intervals and the most of the female attendance comprise. girls not yet out of their teens, and many of them not mucin over 13.

By the Terms of a Resolution Adopted Yesterday It Will Closo Its Books on Nov. 1 if Possible. Heads of Families Can Secure Their Discharges If They Make Application In Proper Form. Financial Btatement Read by Sec retary D. B. Atherton. Resolved, That In view of the fact that the war has practically ceased and thero Is no pressing need for men remaining In the service, who have dependent relatives, that this association take means to wind up Its a (fairs nnd dissolve, If possible, on November 1. That the secretary have all cases re investigated by the agent of the associa tion and tlint he notify tho captains ot companies of tho Thirteenth regiment that tho association Is about to wind up Its affairs and urgo the captain to have men In their commands who have de pendent ones make out applications for dlschargo from thu service us early as possible. The above resolution was passed by the Soldiers' Relief association nt its meeting In tho bonrd of trade rooms yesterday afternoon. It was discussed nt some length by all of the members of the association present before a vote was taken. It was agreed by them that the war Is practically over; that the men who havu families or relatives dependent on them for support enn readily bo spared from the services of tho nation: that tho national danger has passed and that now their first duty Is to provide for those who look to them for support; that the war department Is In uccord with this view ot the situa tion and Is willing to grant discharges to men whoso tequests are properly vouched for, that the country will not sustain any loss of Its armed strength by such action for the rea4 son that a largo number of single men. not bound by family ties, are anxious to enlist In the volunteer and regular armies. 'AN BE DlSCHUtOED. In view of this condition of affairs It was decided that tho emergency that called the association Into life has al most passed and that as soon as the soldiers who have wives, families or other dependent ones are honorably discharged from the service It will have fulfilled Its mission. If tho men make applications it Is thought that, all of them can be discharged from the service Inside of a month. An interesting feature of the meeting was the verbal report of Secretary D. B. Atherton concerning his visit to Camp Meade. Ho had conferences with General Gobln, Colonel H. A. Coursen, Chaplain N. F. Stahl and the commanders of the various companies. Ai a result of his labors before he left camp that night the applications for discharge of forty men whoso fam ilies are being cared for by tho asso ciation had been made out In proper A Good Set or Teeth tor... $3.00 Our Best Sets or Teeth 5.00 Including the Painless Extraction.
