A Shipping Error.

THE young Duchess of Westminster.
wife of the richest peer in England.
recently gave birth to her third child, a
daughter. Thus there is no heir to the
immense Grosvenor fortune, Earl Gros-
venor, the duchess second child, having
died at the age Of four.
Apropos of all this, rather cruel story
is being told in Newport about Lady
Ursula Grosvenor, the eight-year-old
daughter of the young duchess.
a friend, the story goes, called al Elton
Hall, and as she sat in the drawing room
little Lady Ursula entered

es that elusive and 1ndehnable
thing called personality. l was
going to say that the fellow has charm,
but may be that word --.ouldnt be
just the kapoo kake as applied to nit
ter. Anyhow, whatever it is, Johnson
has it.
This was borne in upon me for the
'steenth time when 1 met up with him for
an hour or SO in Atlantic City Tuesday
last.
The fact that he was in Atlantic City at
all that day helps to show what VIM
ming sort of a cuss he is.
There's a dark man and brother down
in Atlantic City by the name OF Ben AL
len, who runs a maison de damperlno Tor
men of his race on Baltic avenue, IN that
seashore city.
Ben Allen is a spoht proper. If any
body wrote the words and music OF that
spoht thing, Ben Allen helped at the job.
He knew Jack Johnson long years ago
when the Galveston chap was training for
his fo'-bits fights on cohn bread and pot
Gouah. Ben Allen was a sort of peripa-
tetic Baron Wilkins the renowned
N'Yawk spoht of color at that time, and
often ii came his way to ease little
change into the needful mltt OF D. John-
son, esq. Allen always coisluereu that
the Johnson person was IN posSesslon OF
the merchandise, and that's why when
Johnson had a peculiarly deep and gnaw-
ing laundering for choking, Allen always
came across without AIRY WHINE.
Well. last week Allen went up to
NYawk and saw his friend j. Johnson,
the Iaureled one. He dldnt make any
suggestions or things TO Johnson; dldn
ask him to visit Atlantic City and thus
confer everlasting fame upon his CAL
lens) maisen de booze, or anything of
that sort. Allen just made a N'1awk
pilgrimage to the Johnson shrine, and
was willing to let it go at that.
Rut one of the engaging qualities about
the Johnson person . is that he has a
habit of remembering the good deeds
nerformed for him in former years by
members of his race. So he asked Allen
If it would help any if he (the renowned
r ~ were to hop roller and drop into
Atlantic City for a day or SO. making
his headquarters at the Allen plant. AL
len replied that it would make him CAL
lem wealthy beyond the dreams of ava
rice. No sooner said than done.
Johnson arrived in Atlantic City with
his encourage on the next day, and you've
read in detail, no doubt, about the tee
rife doings in Atlantic City among the
colored population during Johnson's stay
there. 1t sufficeth that nobody staying
at an Atlantic City hotel employing col
ored walters expected to get waited on at
meal times during Johnson's stay at the
seashore resort; and it broke just that
way. of course. Nobody did get waited
on. And it was all right, at that. The
hotel guests were fair enough to figure it
that they hadn't any right to expect
waiting on while Johnson was in town,
and there were few squeaks on account
OF the lack of service.

What / particularly noticed, III common
with the other newspaper men who have
hitherto talked with Johnson in Chicago
and New York since the big fight, was
the utter lack of uppityness on Johnson S
mart. He isn't swelled. He isn't cocky.
He isn't braggy. He isn't mooching
around with a chip on his shoulder for
1.-The white race to knock off.
AS matter of fact he hates that racial
talk and deprecates it every chance he
gets. He said clever thing on that
topic.
"Ah suppose" he said. that NAH

He said it as a jest, in exemplhcatlon
of his perfectly sound theory that the
race issue had nothing whatever to do
with the thing that occurred at Reno
July 4.
His whole attitude is signally lacking
in the natural sort of elephantiasis Of the
bean that might reasonably have been
eXpected of such a conqueror, and that,
as matter of fact, all or US mistakenly
were expecting of Johnson. He's glad he
