NOT THE "KIssER."
Conductor Robson Only q Second
Cousin to Lieut. Hobson.

Mr.. F. j. Hobson, a Pullman con-
ductor who runs through Topeka on
Santa Fe trains / and 2, is second
cousin of Lieutenant Hobson of Merri-
mac fame.
The Pullman Hobson is a very modest
gentleman, modest in fact that he
only laughs when the relationship is
spoken about without admitting it. He
is the kind of a man who if asked to
stand up in public and kiss a woman
would probably faint, and in this he is
probably more unlike his cousin than in
any other characteristic. Mr.. Hobson
makes his home in Chicago.

Supremacy of 1899 Will Be Won By
 an Eastern Man

Harri- man, who formerly played football and baseball at Princeton, won so impressively today from his opponent, Charles B. Me Donald, and displayed such good form in every phase of the game that tonight many of the golfers who have followed the play of the two men throughout the week are of the opinion that Douglass will be pressed has had during the present week and will have to be at his best to retain the cham pionship.
 McDonald's defeat by Hartman removed the last westerner from the list of contest ants. This game proved lodestone to the enthusiasts who came out to view the final struggle, and an unusually large gallery closely followed the play both during the morning and the afternoon. Macdonald's work was decided disappointment to his friends He did well during the first nine holes of the morning, but coming in he fell down badly on his iron work, losing several holes by poor putting
 Douglass, apparently confident in his ability to win out played careessly com ing, and to this fact was partly due the coseness of the score, Douglass won two up one to play.
