FOR SEA THIS MoRNINe-HoTH
WORKED AT q. r. q A. DOCK.

Two OF the largest vessels in port
were cleared for foreign ports yes
terday, and both of them will be
ready for sea today. These vessels are
the Norwegian and the Lord Duffertn,
between them carrying over two mil
lion superficial feet OF timber. and
a large quantity of naval stores. Both
of these big vessels were down to the
same draft yesterday. nearly twenty
five feet, with more timber to go on
deck before they left port, and they
lay parallel to one another on the
east and west sides Of the G. F. & A.
dock, respectively.
Pictures were made OF these two
huge vessels as they were moored at
and these views will later be pub
Iished.
Cargo aboard the steamer Norwe-
gian, which goes to Rotterdam, con-
sists of the following: $4,000 super
fetal feet OF lumber. 100000 super
fetal feet of sawn timber, 1894 bar

FOUR STEPS At
80 CENTS EACH
THAT Is WHAT 1T NOW COSTS TO
WALK ACROSS A GRASS PLOT
If THE LANDSCAPE GARDEN
Err Is NEAR AT HAND.

In an effort to aid the newly
sprouted grass in the city plots, the
law is being enforced strictly where
there Is detected any violations of
the same, and for four steps. made
by at least two citizens, it has cost
them fifty cents for each time his foot
pressed the grass. w. w. Fowler
was fined 81 and costs, and Edward
Williams was fined g. like amount,
for walking over the grass plots
as the charge is entered on the doc
ket AS the indicated cost" in a case
is a dollar each time mentioned, it will
be seen that each OF an average of
four steps is worth about half a dol
lar or two for a dollar.
Mr.. KembIe. the landscape garden
err, is appearing as the principal wit
ness in these cases, and in the future,
it would be the better part Of eau
ton TO go to a regular crossing when
the grass plot is between you and the
other side of the street. All the po-
lice have some instructions on this
line, and a little thoughtfulness may
save some rather expensive walking.
