Court.
One of the annoy ances with which tn
newspaper men have TO contend during
the sessions Of Superior Court is the
difficulty Of hearing what is going on
The table at which the scribes sit,
providing 1t is not occupied by members
of the curiosity club, is outside Of the
pit, and where nett her the Judge nor
the prisoners can be seen AS soon as
the court opens, the space between I he
repoi ters and the court proper Is taken
up by men standing, men sitting and
men talking. 1t has been seriously con
templated by the scribes to ask to be
removed to the cellar or attic II couldn't
be less convenient
