(Continued from First Page.) life to honor the dead. No brave man fearg to meet death. There are a good many things that death does. It breaks up homes but it cannot bury ! 10V, ' "No brave man fears to meet death, but the bravest man I ever knew could meet death fearlessly, but he could not bear to be forgotten by his friends. I wonder what they would tell us as they look down upon us to-day from the greater life beyond. They would not want us to be a ngels. They would only ask us to bo brother men. "I think tbey would want us to bo heroes. Not tho kind that is seeking the newspaper limelight, but the kind who does his duty when at tho barn as faithfully as when at tho fire. The bravest and best fireman is always a modest man. I think they would tell us, too, to be ready, and to be exam ples, and when our time comes may it be said of each one of us, "Died on tho field of honor." After the memorial service, the old est fire chief of the United States, Chief Hopkins of the Somorvllle, Mass., fire department, was called to the platform and introduced by Presi dent Beardsley as one of tho most dis tinguished fire fighters of the country, and one of the men who helped to put out the groat Boston fire of 1S72. Chief Hopkins was given an ovation as he arose to speak. He gave a very valu able account of the advance in fire fighting and methods during the past century. Tha convention 'began at 1:30 o'clock with 350 delegates in attendance. The meeting was called to order by Presi dent Beardslee of the. state association, who called upon Rev. Norman J. Squires of the West Haven Congrega tional church to offer prayer. The address of welcome was by Warden James H. Peck, who made the delegates feel at home. President Beardsloe responded in behalf of the firemen with appropraita words. Then A. C. Hondrick of this city, ex-president of tho Firemen's association, pre sented to the association on behalf of the charter members a unique gavel, which is made from pieces af historic wood, one from each county of the state. After the roll of membership had been called the reports of various com mittees were heard. Then followed the annual reports of the president, secretary and treasurer. They show tho association to be in a splendid condition. In the report of the secretary, John S. Jones, he mentions the death of Chief Engineer Isaac B. Hyatt of Meri den, who died on April 30, a charter member of the association. He said in part: "From May 1, 1905, to October 1, 1905, I drew seventy-six orders on the state comptroller for ben efits, amounting to a total of $3,946, leaving an unexpended balance of $147 of the 1903 appropriation.
