LOCAL ATTORNEY PRAISED.
Lawyer B. S. Smith Gets Very Favor
able Mention in The Topeka
Plaindealer.

Under the caption of Editorial
Observations" the Plaindea1er pub
fishes the following in issue of June S
The people of Kansas City are
greatly elated over the visit of their
ext County Attorney and former fell
low townsman, Hon. B. S. Smith
now of Minneapolis, MINI. He is
one of the foremost men Of the race
and was a great leader in Kansas
politics and done much in elevating
members of his race to positions OF
honor and trust when a citizen oil
Kansas. He cannot pass up Mime
sofa avenue without being intercept
ed by scores of citizens both white
and colored, extending him congratu-
lations and wishing him back to the
old city on the mouth of the Kaw.
They tell him that he is missed
very much in their community and
they will gladly welcome him back
and if he should return he could be
elected to any office that he would
seek. He owns considerable proper
ty in Wyandotte and is improving
the same and making the necessary
changes while here. He speaks high
of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and the
Northwest and says it is the finest
country in the world. The colored
man has an equal break and If he
can deliver the goods, all the people
will combine and give him a whirl
forward. He looks prosperous and
while the citizens of Kansas would
be glad to see him return, they wish
him continued success in his new
home. 1t is given out that he was
one of the best County Attorneys
that Wyandotte county ever had, and
he was fair and just and treated all
alike, and the people that he pros
ecuted were as proud to see him as
were those he defended.
We re-publish the foregoing from
the pen of Hon. Nick Chiles and free
ly admit that, it is evidence, that the
opinions of the Editor of the Star
and many others that Atty. Smith was
in Kansas City were based
on rumors and not facts.

SECOND NEGRO CHURCH
BARRED BY BAPTISTS.

St. Paul People Warned by DR.. Bee
man to Shut Doors on Pilgrim
Insurgents.
Negro Baptists of St. Paul are the
latest people to feel the surge of in
surgency.
They have one church, the Pilgrim,
on Cedar ST., near Summit ave. But
another is being formed at Fuller ave.
and Rice st.
The division came when the Pilgrim
church deacons asked Rev. E. H. Mac
donald to resign. Atty. w. T. Fan
els, says the pastor brought dissen-
sion into the church.
Rev. Macdonald then started to
build new church.
DR.. H. G. Beeman, chairman COM
mittee of relations of Baptist churches
in Minnesota, today, addressed the fol-
lowing notice to all Baptist churches
in St. Paul:
Your state committee has been ad-
vised that division has arisen in the
Pilgrim Baptist church of St. Paul,
and that a number of its members,
under the leadership of their former
pastor, Rev. Macdonald, have rented
a building and are planning to organ
ize another church. 1t is our judg-
ment that it is not advisable to or
ganize another colored Baptist church
The Pilgrim church owns and oc-
cupies building excellently located
well equipped. 1t is the duty OF
Baptists and all others who may be
solicited to refuse to give financial
aid to this enterprise. Such an in
vestment would be hindrance to the
advancement of the kingdom of God

ence In his studies he took rank among
the best in his class Having to pro-
vide the money for his expenses single
handed. DIR. Porter taught school both

After his graduation at Fisk DR.. Por-
ter entered the Meharry Medical col

medical examination and began the
practice Of his profession. By close APP
plication to business. painstaking and
courteous to all In his dealings. he has
won success and is held In high esteem
by the public.
Dr. Porter attributes much Of his
success to Mrs. Porter. who Is always
on the alert In the home to relieve her
husband Of such things as would take
him from his business or studies. She
was Miss Carrie Bridges Of Macon.
Miss, before becoming Mrs. Porter.
She was educated at Fisk university
and Ii well fitted both by education and
experience In public life to preside over
the exacting duties Of busy house
hold.
The public takes keen interest In
DR.. Porter's work. The white physi-
clans have no hesitancy in sitting In

his opinion in cases which require rare
skill and experience. DR.. Porter is q
former president Of the National Med

fuses to give encouragement to the
struggling young men and women Of
the race. As busy as DR.. Porter is

devotes time to religious work in his
church in an official capacity.
DR. Porter believes in race co-opera-
tion along all lines. and his willingness
to help his people by serving at the

lift In this city is an evidence OF his
sincerity.

the pastoral relation dissolved.

pastorate which has lasted fourteen
years and six months. During that
time the membership has increased
from 900 to 1894. More than 1000
members were received in the church
during that period. Other activities
and broadening of the scope of the
church work were reviewed by the
Rev. DR.. Smith.
DIR. Smith left to-day for his sum-
mer cottage at Eaglesmere. He will
go to Princeton in September at the
opening of the college, to take the
chair of Homiletics 1t is likely that
the congregation will arrange a fare
well reception at that time. when he
stops over here to arrange for the re-
moval of his household goods to
Princeton. AT present many of the
leading members of the church are
out of town and so a function of this
sort was postponed.
The church was crowded yesterday
morning to hear DR.. Smiths farewell
address. In connection with Dr.
Smiths acceptance to the chair of
Homiletics at Princeton, a story is
current that he asked, before accept
ing the post, whether he could frame
up his own courses of study "You
