REMNANTS FOR BEST
 RED CROSS SEAL SALE. National Competition Announced Throuahout the United States.

Remnants will be awarded by the American Red Cross and the National Association for the Study and Pre- vention of Tuberculosis to the seven counties, towns. cities and villages selling the greatest number of Red Cross Christmas Seals per capita be- fore January first, according to an anQouncement from the state capitol by State Director H. E. Clearman, of the Tuberculosis commission.
 In order to make the competition even the various communities have been grouped according to their popu- lation at the last census into seven classes, as follows: From 500 to D. 900; from 2,000 to S,0o0 from 5000 to 25,0o0; from 25,000 to sO,0e0; from 50,- 900 to 100000: from 150,000 to 5o0,- 900; and over 500,000. A specially prepared pennant will be given the community in each class selling the largest number of seals per capita.
 MT. Clearman, who is carrying on the promotion of the sale for the State Tuberculosis commission, considers that three seals per inhabitant should be sold by cities of 100000 people, and that in smaller communities the ay- craze should run higher.
 All of the net proceeds from the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals in Connecticut, go to fight tuberculosis in this state.

HAD BEEN 47 YEARS
 WITH CITY WATER WORKS.
Daniel Holland Was Engaged in the
 First Construction Work.

In the death of Daniel Holland on Saturday morning at 2.40 o'clock at his home, No. 10 Clairmount avenue, a veteran and trusted employe of the city water works passed away.
 MT Holland on April 1, 1887, with the late Col Cahiil and Capt. O'Brien, came to Norwich from Middletown and entered the employ of the contractors who were constructing the new wa ter works
 Col. Cahill and Capt. O'Brien resign and MT. Holland stayed until they were finished and the water turned on to the city. The late H. B. Winship was appointed the first superintendent by the board of water commissioners and after his appointment he asked the board for permission to name an overseer which was granted and he immediately named Daniel Holland, a position which he held with honor and respect until the day of his death. His total service in the water depart me;E was 47 years, a record to be proud of
 He was the oldest employe in any of the city departments. In 1878 MT. Holland went to Stafford Spring and superintended the construction of the water works in that town, his services being loaned to them by the Nor wien department. MT. Holland has been offered the superintendency of the Norwich water department by both political parties but he would not accept it, being satisfied to remain as overseer. He was a home man in every sense. He was also a splendid student of Irish history and was call- ed upon many times to settle argu- ments pertaining to this subject.
 He had a store of interesting "reminiscences about the water works in the old days and he had such a splendid memory that he never needed to refer to a chart for locations of gates, hydrants, etc. No matter how much snow was on the ground or any other condition prevailed, he could aI- ways put his foot on any shutoff in any part of the city.
 In passing the away of Mr. Holland the water department loses its oldest and most trusted ernploye an,d Nor wich loses one of it's highly respected citizens.
