"From the Pulpit to tho Stage," forms
nn Interesting chapter In the career of llev.
Edward Davis, who after preaching the
gotpel for five years, forsook the ministry
to become an actor and yesterday Joined
Hobert Down lug's company In this city.
Hcv. Edward Davis, when but 20 years
of age was pastor of tho Central Temple
In Oakland, Col., one of the largest con
gregations on tho IbcI!1c const. Ho was
a striking figure In the pulpit and his
theatrical style uf preaching attracted at
tention. Ho was widely advertised as "Tho
Poet Preacher," "The Talmago of thu West"
and "Tho King ltlchard HI of the Pulpit."
One of tho lending New York papers de
scribing tho young preacher said,: "ttev.
Edward Davis is an actor-prenchcr, a word
painter, a .patron of the waltz, a sponsor
for 'bean poker, and tho most popular
preacher on the Pacifllc coast."
After throo years In tho church, llev.
Davis decided that for him to continue to
ill! a pulpit would be to lie. Ho realized
that whllo he believed In the Divine Deity,
ho was better fitted for tho stago than the
pulpit of tho church. Ho had reached tho
age when ho commenced to think, and tbe
result of this thinking showed him his
unfitness for the ministry as It existed.
Talking on the matter of his leaving the
church for tho pulpit yesterday, Mr. Dnvls
said:
"I left the ministry because I fully real
ized that the sermon was entirely im
potent to the sulllclent couvlctlou of men,
and I assuredly believed that tho religious
stage producing such plays as "Faust,"
"Tho Second Mrs. Tnnqueray" and the
"Quo Vndts" will produce more lasting
result than a homlletlc exposition of
rhetoric. Threo years ago I refused a call
to ono ot thu largest churches In Australia
at a salary of $2,600, nnd In my determina
tion to go upon the stage, realizing that I
had ability la that direction, went to New
York, where I secured a position In a stock
company at 910 a week. Although I went
by my right name of Edward Davis, I
have always carefully concealed ray Identity
as tho former preacher. I wanted to gain
recognition by my merits alone. If 1 po
sesscd any, and not by any frco advertis
ing. I later Joined Charles Coghlan's com
pany and last season was leading man
In Frohman's company, playing "Tho Ad
venturo of Lady Ursula." Two weeks ago
I received an offer from Mr. Robert Down
ing to Join his company nnd here I am."
When Bev. Davis quit the pulpit to be-
como a Thespian, his wife, who Is a
daughter of M. II. Klngore, a leading busl
nests man ot Denver, decided also to go upon
th ninun. Toilav she Is leadinei lady In
"Tho Devil's Auction" company, appearing
under her maiden namo of Margaret

Bev. Davis has Just completed writing
a play, which will be produced soon by Mr.
Downing and his company.

C1TV COUNCIL 11EFCSI3 CHECK.
Five Thousand Dnllnrs Involved lu
Ulnunte with Hallway Company.
The city council last night finally de
cided to refuse to receive the check for
$4,999.40 deposited by the Omaha, Council
Bluffs & Suburban Railway company for
tho cost of the paving on South Main stroet
between and ono foot outside ot tho track
recently laid by It on that thoroughfare.
This check, which represents the amount
that Is to be refunded to the abutting prop
erty owners, who have long ago paid for
this paving, has been In the hands ot the
city clerk since November 1 Inst. Up to
last night the council refused to tako any
action regarding the check for fear of com-
itself la r.ference to tho dhv
puted right of the motor company to lay
a second track on Main street.
The law provides that the cost ot tho
paving should io deposited with the city
treasurer and by htm distributed to tbe
property owners entitled to it. This tho
motor company was desirous of doing, but
City Clerk Phillips refuaed to part with the
check unless on orders from tbe city coun
cil. City Treasurer True has announced
that ho will 'refuse to distribute 1 cent ot
tho money unices on orders from the coun
cil and this the council refuses to do. In
tho meantime tho property ownors who do
slro to get back the monoy which they
paid out for tho paving have to wait until
some ngreomcnt is come to between the al
dermen and the motor company.
Dun CurrlM Want a Ills Share.
Tho matter was brought before tho coun
cil ast night by Dan Carrlgg, one of tho
Interested property owners, who Is anx
ious to secure the share that Is coming to
him. Tho only satisfaction ho got was to
be informed that the city council had abso
lutely nothing to do with tbe check and he
was referred to tho company nttorney. Tho
discussion that followed developed the tact
that tho motor company had nsked to bo
returned tho check, but tbe city clerk had
declined to surrender It without orders
from the council,- In order to dispose ot
the matter so far ns tho city wns con
cerned Aldormnn Clark moved that the
councils refuse to accept tho check and
that' It bo returned by tho clork to tho
motor company.
As soon ob tno matter of the check had
been disposed of Alderman Brown Intro
duccd a motion to tho effect that the motor
company be notified to take up Its track on
South Sixth street between Ninth and Six
teenth avenues. Ho withdrew tho motion,
howover, when Informed by the city so
licitor that tho injunction restraining the
company from removing its tracks on that
street, 'secured by H. I. Forsyth, had not
boeh dissolved nnd tho case was still pend
ing In the district court.

DIAMOND ROBBER'S PARDON
End of Fumoiu Pollock Ohm from Near
California Junction,
SHERCLEFF SERVED BUT SEVEN YEARS
Senleueetl for e nileeu Crime fur
Which He Wan Convicted n Hold
One Ilnnht nn in III" Identity
nnd t'otincctli'ii iillh Crime.
DF.S MOINKS, la., Jan. 21. (Special.)
There was nlwnys some doubt in the mlnils
of many persons conversant with tho fncts
surrounding the trial of Frank Shcrcleff for
tfic Pollock diamond robbery ns to his Iden
tity with the robber and his relationship
to the gang of thieves supposed to have
profited by the theft. This doubt was what
culminated In the release ot Shercleff1 from
prison nftcr Borvlng about seven of the
seventeen years for which ho was sen
tenced. Shercleff bnd been fully Identified
by tho victim of tho robbory. but there
were evidences of doubt in the minds of
many persons nt the tlmo of tho trial. It
was supposed he was tho notorious "Kid"
McCoy, or Ed Burke, well known In the
western cities, but this may never lx
known. Tho crime for which Shcrcleff, nr
he said his namo was, wns convicted was
thut of robbing William C. Pollock, a trav
cling man for a diamond house, on a tralc
from Omaha to Sioux City on the cvdnlnr
of November 4, 1&S2. near California June
Hon. Pollock had been showing goods In
Omaha during the day and wns followed tt
the trnln by a man whom ho had seen In
a Jewelry store In Omaha.
When the train crossed the river at Blair
tho stranger approached Pollock and struck
him over tho head with a bag of shot. The
bag burnt nnd Bcnttered tho shot nnd did
not do Injury to Pollock to prevent hlra
from Immediately rising In his seat.
Thrire Sliutx Arc Fired.
The robber fired three shots from a re
volver at Pollock, hitting him In each arm
and In the breast, but not doing serious
Injury. Tho passengers In tho car wore
panic stricken, and not ono nrose to help
Pollock, In fnct, the passengers did not
know what was going on and were unable
on such short notice to tell what they
should do. The two men fbught togother
In tho car nlslo up to the front end, where
the robber demanded Pollock's money. In
his testimony later Pollock said he was on
the point of getting his pocketbook when
tho robber thrust his hand Inside Pollock's
vest and drew therefrom his wallet, con
taining the diamond samples, valued at
$16,000. Then tho robber broke away, nnd
running to tho rear of the car pulled the
air brake and In tho darkness Jumped of
Into tho weeds.
Tho robber mado good his escape, tntf
Pollock, who was pretty badly used up, wnt
taken to Omaha nnd placed In n hospltnl fo
treatment. In due time Pollock recovered
nnd a reward was offered for the conviction
ot tho robber. Pollock was unable to give
a good description ot him.
Identlfleii the Itohher.
Some time the next summer a man was
arrested In Lcadvillc, who was Identified by
Pollock as tho robber. Ho gave his name
as Frank Shorcleff and said that his pa
rentB lived In Pittsburg.- He was Indicted in
Harrison county, Iowa, In September, 1893.
In tbo meantime' a gang of safeblowcrs was
under arrest In Turre Haute, lnd., and one
of them, Frank "'Bruce, was charged with
being the Pollock robber. Pollock went to
Terro Haute and declared that Bruce wob
not the man. In spite ot this an attempt
was made to havo Bruco Indicted in Harri
son county. On the trial of Shcrcleff two
women sworo positively that ho wns not
the mnn who had committed the robbory on
tho train. One John Hollensworth of Lead-
vllle testified that ho hnd known Shercleff
well In Montana five years before, that he
saw him at Aurella, la., In October, Just
before tho Pollock robbery, that Shercleff
went from there to Leadville, and that he
was In Leadvlllo on the day tho robbery
was committed. This nnd much other slra-
llnr testimony was discredited as nn at
tempt on the part of Shercleff's pals to get
him out of trouble. Ho was convicted, and
on September 22, 1893, was sentenced to
soventecn years for tho robbery.
Shercleff always protested his Innoceuce.
and on being sontenced pleaded for leniency
bocauso of ill health. The diamonds were

Aitnlnat the Amendment.
C. A. Irwin of Sioux City this morning
filed a printed argument In tho Titus
amendment caso with the clerk of the su
preme court, In which he contends that the
supreme court la without Jurisdiction as far
as declaring the amendment void Is con
corned. His argument Is divided Into threo parts,
viz: validity, Jurisdiction and Interpreta
tion. Under the second hoad he contends
that tho court Is without Jurisdiction, In
thnt It cannot go back of tho records of the
twenty-eighth gencrnl nssorably, the duty
of which body It was to fully investigate
nnd detcrmlno upon tho validity of the
amendment as passed by tho previous leg
islature before It passod Its resolution.
Mr. Irwin holds that Inasmuch as the
twenty-eighth general assembly approved
tho acts of tho twenty-nevonth that It had
no nuthorlty for acting in tho premises and
that as it did approvo such action of the
twenty-seventh general assembly the su
premo court of lown cannot now go back
of tho twenty-eighth general assembly.
Under the first head of the argument Mr.
Irwin contends thnt. the amendment was
properly enrolled; that cntored "on" means
to spread upon the records and that en
tered means lees than that and, therefore,
means only referred to In tho record.
Under the last head it Is claimed that nl
though Iho amendment was properly
adopted that it must bo translated liter

of Douglas .aroused great Indignation, and
his family wan immediately placed under

In the treatment of certain special diseases there can he no comparison between
the ability of the ordinary doctor und that of the trained, scientific specialist.
Tho troublo with tho ordinary doctor is that he tries to do too much. In hie
fruitless effort to conquer tho whole Held of medicine and ur(?ery he so scatters his
talents that he becomes proficient lu no particular branch. Llko the Jack of all
trades, lie Is master of none. He possesses no special skill, no expert knowledge of
any given subject, but Is simply u "cure all," who can do but little more for th
alleviation of human affliction than the vender of specifics, free samples, trial treat
ments or similar devices, which do not und cannot cure diseases and weakneses pe-
CU,Hutt0th"Ctruo specialist not the ALLEGED specialist, whose pretended specialty
Includes every human ill, as their announcement simply but the genulno expert
never attempts to do more than ho can do well. His persistent study, diligent
research and scientific Investigations are all on the line of a few diseases, a single
class of them, on which all his efforts are conccnteratod nnd to which his entire
practice is strictly limited. Hence he becomes easily supreme In his chosen field.
