It is universally conceded that the
United States COurt room is about the
worst apartment in the country for the
transaction of public business. The acous-
tic properties are wrelched, and the system
of ventilation is of the most primitive char
acter. At times during the sessions of last
week the air was so foul as to almost csuse
a feeling Of nausea on coming in from the
outside atmosphere, aad all the efforts of
the Court and janitor to secure proper
supply of oxygen without slso endowing
those present with pneumonia, were futile.
