WHY HE RESIGNED.
Lawrence Preacher Didn't Agree with
Congregation on Boer War.

Lawrence, Mass, March %. Rev.
George II. Young, pastor of the Unitar-
Ian church here, rendered his Iesigna-
ton yesterday to his parish to take
effect in September. At a meeting of
the congregation, held tonight, action on
the resignation was deferred.
Rev. Mr.. Young was one of the leading
speakers at pro Boer meeting in this
city as well as at a similar me citing under
the auspices of the Hibernians at Faneuil
hall, in oppositionto the wishes Of many
of his congregation, who sympathized
with the other side. 1t is understood
that the resignation followed reduction
in his salary growing out OF tine dis
iurbed state of tho parish which fol-
lowed the pastor declaration OF pro Bo er
sympathies.
Rev. Mr.. Young has been in charge of
the parish since 1891.

PRETTY GOOD NERVE.
Crooks Rob safe In the Face aud Eyes
OF the Cashier.

New York, March 26-Fiys well dressed
men entered HeAly's restaurant at the
corner Of sixty.sixth street and Colum-
bus avenus today, and while one OF them
engaged the cashier In oonvsrsatlon, an
other Of the men went to the safe and got
away with $500. The other men than
quietly Withdrew, and the robtsry was
not discovered for fully i've minutes af-
forwards. 1t Is evident that the robbery
was oarsfully planned. About the break
fast hour two well dressed men drove up
to the restaurant in cab. They took q
table In the rear OF the cashiers desk.
and took table opposite the cashiers
desk. Two others entered and took
table opposite the cashier and in front Of
the man who had preceded them. All OF
the five men were not only well dressed,
but wore gems and jswelry. They all or
dsred breakfast. In the place at the time
were from thirty TO forty guests, residents
Of fashionable apartment houses in this
section of the oity and most OF them
bankers or brokers. The man who sat
opposit, the cashier 10 the rear OF his two
oonfederates was . large man. He finished
his breakfast first. Then he advanced to
the cashiers desk and presented 800
bill. He engaged the cashier In convsrsa
tion and the latter finding he had not
sufficient change In the drawer went to
the big safe. Tbs cashier closed the
drawer from which he took the change
but did not lock the safe. He went to the
desk, and while giving the man his
change kept answering his questions.
While this was going on. one OF the two
men who sat behind the cashier, got up
and went ostensibly to the cashier to pay
his bill. This man managed to get by
the cashier unonssrved and crawling un-
der the brass railing reached the cafe. He
opened the lrawer which the cashier had
failed to lock. He orawled back, stood
ND IN front OF the cashier, threw down
his check aud the exact change and
quietly left the place. The stout man
kept mp u running fire Of gu estions all
tho time. Finally he went over to the
two men opposite, saluted them and
spoke few words with them. Then he
left, and the two men opposite, and the
one man In the rear of the 1ash Ter got
up, paid their checks and quietly left the
place.
Tho police report thai the amount of
money and checks taxen was 81 800, Mr..
Healy, proprietor of the restaurant, re-
ports that the oheoss have been returned
to him by mail The police ars on the
track CT the thieves.
