He's a Lobster.

The expression "He's lobster, '' which has now become SO general in colloquial use about town as to convey clear cut message of contempt or de- rision, has somewhat peculiar origin. There is nothing about lobster, which the elder Dumas, it may be recalled, described as "the cardinal of the sea, " to invite derision, but a few years ago when all winter racing was a customary thing in the vicinity of New York, es- pecially in neighboring New Jersey, a mud horse that failed to realize tho ex.
 pectations of those who bet money upon It was called lobster, an allusion to its mode of progression. Horses which had been generally defeated were lobster horses, and as this colloquial ex- pression got to be more general in use on the race tracks 1t began to be applied not only to horses, but to men and things as we'll. A lobster car was car that made slow time. A lobster boat was a boat in which rapid time could not be expected. A lobster calculator was a man who took too long, in the judg- ment of his critics, to add up all ac- count, and so gradually the namo lob ster has cou.e to be accepted as desig- nation of sloth or inferiority, and "He's a lobster" has come to be regarded as phrase of disapproval.

VOLUME XXVIII.

Volume XXVIII of THE NEWS con- mences today. THE NEWS was born at Salisbury July IA. 1871, and moved to Canaan in October, 1876. During its stay Tn Salisbury it occupied two differ. ent locations, and it has occupied the same number in Canaan. THE NEWS was launched in the old hotel building at Salisbury, the building since trans- ferred into the town hall. From there it moved across the street to the brick building known as the Academy. After moving to Canaan for nearly 21i years it occupied rooms in the second story of Cummings block on Railroad street, but now it IS "at home" on the first floor of Norton's building on Main street.
 THE NEWS hereby sends greetings and best wishes to all its friends and patrons, and it hopes to increase its circulation and usefulness by still greater efforts to All previous volumes of THE NEWS have commenced during 8 time of peace. Volume XXVIII commences while war is raging between the United States and Spain. May this cruel war be ended, may Cuba be free, and may the United States be at peace with all the world be- fore Volume XXVIII is ended, is the sincere wish of the writer.

 It Is seldom that a passenger on board train gives 9 thought to the man at the throttle, and rarer still that a man chosen above all others by the peo- pie does so. Of all the flowers placed on the presidential train as 1t passed through Pittsburgh and Alleghany on it's way to Washington, there is one cluster of white pinks destined to be preserved for generations and banded down to children and grandchildren as long as the petals and stems will hold together. That was the handsome bou- quet presented by Presid, nt Mckinley to the locomotive engineer and fireman in charge of the train we have just spo- ken about. This graceful act of the Presidents has nothing to do with the locomotive fireman, Rufus Tourtellott, of No. 66 Spring St, Middletowp, Conn.,. fireman on the N. |. N. H. < II R. R We merely introduce him in this manDer so that in a measure the reader may know who we are talking about. and if afflicted as he was, the benefit of this valuable remedy can be utilized. Read what he says: "For years had kidney trouble accompanied at times by the most intense agony. There was dull lingering aching in my kidneys and sore and lame back which hurt me to bend forward and could not sleep, causing me to have a tired feeling clinging to me. At times 1 could not stand it on the engine aud was compelled to go home. heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and got them at a drug store. They have given me the greatest satisfaction. I have no back ache or lameness whatever now. My son was also cured of chronic backache and kidney complaint by Doan's Kid ney Pills. We can highly recommend them and lose no opportunity in doing so."

After two weeks of suffering from a complication of nffliciious and despite the faithful and solicitous attendance of the family physician and the tireless and tender ministraiiuns of her five devoted daughters, Mrs John Rodemeyer died ou Saturday evening, at her home on Railroad stIect. Since her first attack on the 9.h inst. she had been most of the time in critical conditio", although there were periods when it was hoped she might survive the seize. A slight shock sustained last fall. however, had left effects that initiated against suc- cessiul battle with q severe sickness. aud few days before the end came she went into cGmatose condition and sank rapidly until she passed away.
