this work for them.

Macpherson Gives Up Cloth
Won't Pay Duty on Sabbath.

The first man on record at this port
who refused to pay duty on an i'm
ported article because the tax had been
imposed on the Sabbath was Angus
Macpherson, a steerage passenger, who
arrived here yesterday by the Anchor
liner Cameronia.
Macpherson had brought in bolt Of
cloth the value of which exceeded his
500 allowance. and a duty Of 81 6I
was put uron the importation. The
pious traveller informed the inspectors
that he would enter into no bargains
With the United States government on
Sunday. as it was against the teach
ings Of his faith.
When told that the du;y would have
tC be paid or the cloth detained. the
Scotchman said he was willing TO let
the cloth go if he had 10 break the
sabbath by business transaction. He
was then told that the goods would be
held al the Appraisers Stores and that
he could get it by paying the duty to-
day.
