 Special Announcement
 Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh made the following special announcement this morning:
 i. Another member of our ranks has gone the way of all flesh, Captain John A. Stevens of Truck Company Nv. 2, of the Burton street station. Always upon such cad occasion, 1t is our custom, and really our duty tO discuss and consider just what death does to us as . body when it strikes into our ranks and takes one % widely known among the department members as was Cap. tain Stevens. We of the older lot probably knew him much better than many of the recent ap. pointees. His service began in the department on May 3l, 1905, and he eventually advanced from his first position as private to that of COnpany Commander. Captain Stevens, just like many of us may have had his shortcomings, but these, we are sure, were Oyer- shadowed by his numerous good deeds. We know this from our contact with him during these many years. Therefore, 1t Is our duty, and it Is much better for all of us, Co enumerate the good deeds of man, rather than to speak otherwise.
 2. For years it-has been Q cus- tom of the department to suit. ably honor its dead by the ap. pear@ncc of the ofa-shift at the funeral, and the services in thc church; we shall do this with Captain Stevens, and we hope that every member able to attend will be present, and not seek Q request to be absent.
