WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIAS, BUT
Some Of the best fellows in the world for
giving tips on marriages, socials and other
things that don't conflict with the depart
ment rules the police officers OF the Sec
ond station. Ono of them In charge at the
station the other morning said TO the reporter
as he read from the blotter an item OF inter
est about Admiral street, "Can you tell me
why that street was given that namef" The
question was puzzler, for the name was
not common one in street nomenclature.
und the reporter thoughtit might be cigar
cite name, but he did not say so. Then the
officer who asked the question said: when
part OF the old town OF North Providence
was taken into the city the present Admiral
street was called Hopkins street, after Ad-
niral Hopkins, the same that the park at
Tooleville is named after. but there was one
Hopkins street in the city. Yet the city su-
shorities wished to recognize and keep fresh
in the minds of our citizens tnat famous
Rhode islander whose naval services belong
not to this end or any end of the city but to
tho nation at large, so thoy just named It Ad-
miral street." When this sergeant wants to
know anything he Just finds it out, that's
all.
Another instance Of kindness extended to
the reporter did not prove as exact or as
valuable as this bit Of information did. Last
evening one of the finest looking men on the
force said TO the reporter ON Capitol hill:
Say, have you been down to that school 2"
pointing TO place where there is an evening
school. mo" was the answer. well, you
ought TO go for there's a big attendance. "
But said the reporter. that was in the
papers tonight" Then the patrolman called
TO his partner across the street and asked If
the school did really open last night. and the
partner confirmed the reporters statement.
The latter remarked, "You are late" I'm
only twelve hours late. ;" said the patrolman,
forgetting 1t was "a hours from tho opening
hour on Monday of tho evening school TO the
same opening on Tuesday evening. "You get
around in time" shouted his partner
Then the first policeman offered the report
,ble IL the reporter would not say anything
connecting him with a one-time fellow
sountryman of his named Sir Boyle Roche.
The reporter made no promises, but, in JUS
tice to his well meaning friend. must say the
oticer went out only the last part of Monday
night, long after the schools closed.
