THE RUINS OF CHARLESTON.

POwDERLY MAKES AN APPEAL
 Out Knights.
 PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 3O-The Press will publish to morrow the following important circular issued by the general officers of the Knights of Labor:
 Noble Order of the Knights of Labor of America:
 OFFICIAL CIRCULAR No. 3; OFFICE OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19. To all the Subordinate Assemblies of the
 Order, greeting:
 Previous to the session of the general assembly at Richmond an appeal was issued to the order for funds to assist victimized and locked out member in various parts of the country. The response to that appeal was not such it should have been and only about $14000 was received thereon. This, it is manifest to all, was entirely insufficient to render the assis- tance needed and desired. Many thousand members were thrown upon our hands by lockouts of employers who acted in concert with the avowed purpose of driving their employees out of the order, to cripple if not destroy it's usefulness. The order of the Knights of Labor has reached the most critical period in it's history. x Without any provocation except the exercise of the inherent right of every freeman to belong to any organization he pleases not in conflict with the laws of the country thousands of our members, men and women, have been thrown out of em- ployment. Two alterna- tives present themselves-unconditio sur render or manly defense. Which shall it be? The locked-out members in their enforced idleness turn from suffering wifes and stary ing children in pathetic appeals to your gener- al executive board to aid them in maintaining their manhood and fidelity to your order. We can render that assistance only in one way and that through the co operation of the earnest and loyal members of our order. Your general executive board has unani- mously resolved to levy assessment of twenty-five cents per member upon all the local assemblies of the order. This assessment will be known as special defense assessment and must be paid to the the general secretary. When the appeal was issued in aid of the southwest strike it re- ceived a most prompt and generous re- sponse. The need for that appeal and the crisis to be met, great though they were, did not equal the grave emergency which compels this assessment. With the termi- nation of the struggle began the combination of capitalists everywhere throughout the country. The object of that combination is now made ap- parent. The lines are sharply drawn, the contest is upon us and must be waged to a successful termination.

Another Large Addition to the Tribe
 More 10 Come.
 At the meeting of Hammonassett tribe of Red Men held last evening eighty-seven more charter members were received, mak- ing the total number to date three hundred and sixty-six. Among the number received last evening were Dr. w. D. Anderson, Frank G. Anthony, Thomas c. Lewis, George A. Stevens, Dr. Robert S. Ives, William Konold, A. o. Norton, William H. Conklin, Henry G. Lewis and John B. Jud- son. There are one hundred and fifty more charter members to be received, and two weeks from last evening will be the last op- portunity for them to join the tribe as such. The tribe will not hold any powwow next week; it being election night the big Injuns will be on the warpath. The place for a permanent wigwam has not yet been decided upon, but this matter is in the hands of the trustees, who will probably be able to report at the next meeting.
 The origin of the Order of Red Men dates back to the revolutionary period of our coun- try, and the order hourished under that title until the war of 1872, when more associations were formed, and the members used the Indian disguises in acting as spies in detect ing the enemy's position, etc. But the unin-
 
 when the association was again brought into active existence at Baltimore, Md, under the name of the Improved Order of Red Men. The different tribes of this order throughout the United States now number over 5O,O00 members The order stands shoulder to shoulder with other sick and funeral benefit orders of kindred na- ture, both in numbers and financially. A certain amount of the initiatory fee is set apart a fund for weekly sick benefits, also for funeral benefits for it's members and their wives. The motto is Freedom, Friendship, Charity" As man enters the order so he departs free man. Friendship, fraternity and hospitality are exemplifed as cardinal virtues, and nowhere are hearts brought closer together than in the lodge of the Red Men. In sickness or distress brother is visited, conforted and assisted, and when the arrow of death has removed him from his trail on earth he is buried by his brothers. Its initiatory ceremonies -four degrees) are all instructive, and for dramatic work and beauty are unsurpassed. The can didate is taken to the hunting ground" and there instructed from there to the "hunt- CTS degree" the ''warrior's degree" and lastly to the "chief's degree" after which he is entitled to seat around the ''council fire,' and to participate in the ''big talk" with the other chiefs of the tribe.

What Was Done at Last Nights Meet
 ing.
 The police commissioners held an animat- ed meeting last night. After the names of five applicants for positions on the police force had been read and ordered on file a let ter was read from the chief mate of the steamer Elm City, Michael Donovan, which stated that he wished to withdraw his charges against certain precinct officers. The letter was voted accepted. The question of what the Board should do in Police Captain Smiths case next came up and was given much discussion. Captain Smith is now stationed in charge of the down town precinct and has faithfully served the force for twen- ty years. As the entire Board was not pres ent the matter of placing him on the list of veterans was not acted upon. It requires the unanimous vote of the entire Board to place him on this list. Captain Smith will probably retain his present position should he be placed on the retired list.
