THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6. 1900.

In . recent edition of the NKws it was edisoriAlly stated that there was a sui ficient number of first class base ball players in town to form nine of suf ficient strength to put up a good dia. mond argument with any nine in the county and that all that was necessary was good organization and substantial support by the town. Recent devel- cpments have proven this statement trus. Just as coon ss it was demon strated to the boys that "the people" were with them. heart and pocketbook, they got right down to business and have played the very best of base ball. having won six or seven games in suc- cession from hines that have enviable reputations. People have awakened to recognize the fact Canaan boys can play ball. and have contributed Eberally and without protest to their support. This friendly spirit is fully appreclated by the boys who will endeavor during the remainder of the season to play ball to the entire satisfaction of all interested. We do not wish to make any idle boasts of ''onr" nine but ne vertheless it is our candid opinion that the Canaan nine as it stands today could compare favorably with any nine in the county, not except ing the Winsted or Torrington "A B's
 The NEWS gives space today to an- okhsr communication from GA Woman Reader" but it does not feel called up- on to reply. because this discussion has drifted entirely away from the original question and has landed on the Greek Church. If '.Statistician" wishes to reply to "A Woman Reader" the NEWS will furnish the space although its readers may prefer some other diet. The NEWS of July 18th opened the dis cussion of the missionary problem, be- oause the civilized world was confront ed with condition instead of a theory. That condition was the Boxer uprising In China and the massacre of native Christians and the missionaries and all foreigaers that were unprotected. The subsequent discussiom of the missionary problem has not changed the "con- dition" described in the NEWS of July 18th. But the condition" of affairs in China has been changed within two months and good many missionaries and foreigners have been rescued, al- though at the cost of terrible sufferings and privations and losses of life to the allied armies. The missionary problem however remains unsolved. Foreign missionary work is beautiful theory. but when put into practice it too fre- quently results in deplorsble conditions like the recent massacres in Turkey, Armenia and China.
