fifteen or twenty minutes more of that

 Some very unsatisfactory results are being obtained by the change of the time tables of the Milford Street Rail- way Recently there has been new time table used, which in consequence caused a number of Milford people to walk home from Washington bridge. For the past few Sunday evenings there has been some Milford people who were obliged to walk from Wash ington bridge to their respective homes. Some patrons of the road who had been obliged to walk home on previous occa- sions were very particular to inquire of the conductors last Sunday evening at what time the last car left Bridge port for Milford, and were told by two different conductors that they left Bridgeport at 10:30 p. m., and the fact turned out to be that the last car only went as far as Washington bridge. Will anyone please tell the patrons of the Milford Street railway. at what time they may be sure of being carried to Milford from Bridgeport? If the conductors do not know, and there are no time tables posted, who may one depend on to be informed?

A DEDUCTION BY INFERENCE

THIS INCIDENT PROVES THE METHOD UN
TRUSTWORTHY.
There are times when the system OF
reasoning employed by Sherlock Holmeg
fails to crvstalize into an accurate con
clusion. 1t always worked we'll with
Sherlock, of course, but his was an ultra
analytical mind specially devised to dove
tail with just such an analytical process
as the deduction by inference mode OF
reasoning. We believe, regardless OF
Conan Doyle's claims, that the method
originated in the antipodes, preferably
in Australia, because it often proves q
boomerang to those who would make use
of it. A well-known dentist, an adver-
tiser in THE BEE, whose place of business
is near the corner of Main street and
Fairfield avenue, BridgeE Ort, knows this
from actual experience, not however, to
his sorrow, for the lady (there's woman
in this as in most cases), being sensible
and bright, gracefully accepted his pro.
fuse apologies. The incident has bear
ing on the Boinay case, recently con
cluded in the Superior court. 1t occur
red thus: While in conversation With
the dentist, in his office, the lady chanc-
ed to remark that she would like to hear
the arguments of Mr. Fessenden and Mr.
Lynch in the Boinay case, as they would
probably be brilliant and note worthy
efforts. "Well, why don't you go and
hear them p asked the dentist. 81 am
not sure | could get in the court room.''
replied the lady, ST many are turned

however, and that might possibly help

good looks but 1 might do so on my
cheek " Aud here is where the dentist
made deduction by inference that did

was going to say she couldn't get in on
her good looks but might on the strength
Of her acquaintance with the sheriff.
Before he could bring himself to a
realizing sense that his inference was
wrong the mi chief was done. why,
ha dty think you would have any
trouble in getting 10 on either" said he,
encoursgingly. Then he stopped sud-
denly and the lady blushed rosily. He
confusedly explained that he was stu
dent OF Sherlock Holmes and, conse-
quently, Sherlock was to blame for the
break. The relations of the dentist and
his patient, both of whom are well knowD
to numbers of BEE readers, are as pleas
ant as of yore, but he says he will never
agaio deduce fact from inference, un-
der like circumstances, as it is apt to get
him in trouble that he wots not of.
