Learned gave a very delightful talk on.Pinafore and ite composer, Sullivan, of whom she said it was a liberal education to know him. Born in London of music-loving parents he grew up in the very atmo- sphere of music and while his com- positions were always melodious and popular in the best sense of the word they never degenerated into the cheap or common, but remain as the standard of light opera. Sullivan was born in May, 1842, and by a somewhat singu- lar coincidence two other interesting events of his life occurred in May in later years, namely, the bringing out of Pinafore at the Opera Comique in London, May, 1878, and five years later in May he was knightéd by Queen Victoria. Pinafore, perhaps the bést known of his operas, ran seven hun- dred nights in London and there, as in the provinces, created a great sen- sation, which soon spread to the United States. Indeed so great was the furore here that Gilbert and Sul- livan came to America to protect their rights, remaining several months, Others of his works are Patience, Pi- rates of Penzance, Mikado and Iolanthe and the familiar hymn Onward Chris- tian Soldiers. Mrs. Learned concluded her talk by most charming remini- scences of the first performance given here in Breed hall many years ago. JOINT OUTING.

OBITUARY. (Contributed.) Mrs, Sarah E. Rogers. The many friends of Mrs. Sarah E. Rogers will be palned to know of her death, which occurred Monday aft- ernoon, May 2nd, at her home, No. 20 Sherman street. Mrs, Rogers had been in poor hegith for some time and in her wealken: condition was unable to rally from a severe cold from which she recently suffered. A woman of kindly sympathy and thoughtfulness for all In sorrow or distress, she leaves the kindest mémories in the hearts of hosts of those who have best known her. She is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Luella R. Carr, Mrs. Marcus F. Grady of Norwich and Mrs. William H. Cox of Providence, and by her daughters, Mrs. Frank H. Lester of this city and Mrs. Edward B. Fisher of Atlanta, Ga. George F. Tinker. Ex-Mayor George Frederick Tinker of New London passed away Tuesday morning at 7.45 at his home there as the result of an illness that followed the taking of a severe cold a few days ago. No man in New London was more widely known or more highly esteemed than George F. Tinker. Mr. Tinker was a native of Marlow, Vt. He was born Feb. 13, 1834, the son of Nathan and Mary Ann (Stone) Tinker. In his early life he devoted several years to school teaching, and later acted as clerk in stores. Mr. ‘Tinker’s parents moved to New London in 1855 and in company with his father he engaged in the meat business under the firm name of N. Tinker & Son. That business was continued for 57 ears. After selling out his market a few vears ago, Mr. Tinker continued the business of making brooms, being the proprietor of the New England Broom company, trustee of the Savings Bank of New London and connected in an official capacity with the management of the Memor:al Hospital association, Bulkeley school, Smith Memorial home, Y. M. C. A, and other institutions. Always a republican, for 18 vears he served the city as a member of the council. He was elected to the council in 1871 and in 1874 was chosen alder- man, being re-elected in 1875, 81 and '84. In 1882 he ran for mayor, but was defeated by George E. Starr. In 1888 he was again a candidate for the may- or's chair and he was elected by a good sized majority. Mr. Tinker also served as representative in the legislature, having been a member of the commis- sion that erected the new state capitol. For many years a member of the First Congregational church, he was for 30 years superintendent of the Sunday school and held the office of superintendent emeritus at the time of his death. Probably no New Londoner, in pro- portion to his means, ever gave as much of his means to philanthropic objects as Mr. Tinker. No worthy call was ever rejected by him, and while he was never an éxtremely rich man, his financial aid has been a won- derful assistance to many institutions. Mr. Tinker was married nearly 60 years ago to Miss Augusta R. Coombs of Winchester, N. H., who survives him. He also leaves a son, Rev. C. Perley Tinker, of New York, and a daughter, Mrs. C. E. Stone, of St. Paul, Minn. Alanson Towne. Alanson Towne died Tuesday in his eighty-ninth year at the residence of his son Principal Walter A. Towne of New London. Mr. Towne was born in Dana, Mass., June 3, 1826, and spent his early days on a farm. He then turned his attention to mercantile en- terprises and was in business in Mon- s(;‘l;n Enfleld, Springfield and Philadel- phia. For the past ten years Mr. Towne made his home with his son in New London. FUNERALS. Mrs. John F. Farrell, At 3.15 o'clock Tuesday afternoon the funeral of Louise McGuire, wife@f John F.

Both places are held by our troops. “Near Rossiena (about 45 miles northwest of Kovno) there have been skirmishes. “On the left bank of the Niemen, north of the Bobr and Narew rivers, and on the left bank of the Vistula as far as the Pilica, there has been no important change. After a fight we oc- cupied several villages between the Netta and Egrbna, to the north of the great marsh. “The Germans attacked our position on the right bank of the Omulew on & somewhat wide front, but were forced to retreat in disorder by our fire. They abandoned their dead and wounded in front of our positions. “In Galicla, from the Vistula to the Carpathians, a succession of battles developed during May 2 and 3. Enemy detachments succeeded in crossing to the right bank of the Dunajec, but our fire prevented them from edvancing further than the bank. “The fighting was particularly des- perate in the region of Tuchow and Biecz, where the enemy artillery pour- ed forth an extraordinary volume of fire. “In the course of our counter-attacks ‘we took several hundred prisoners. “We confirmed the presence at this point of German active army elements, who were making their first appear- ance on our Carpathian front. “In the direction of Stry, in the re- glon of Golovetza, a most fierce battle continues. Here one hill changed hands three times. We finally captured it yesterday morning. During the day we took a fresh batch of 1,200 prison- ers, with five officers, and also captured three mitralleuses. “At the source of the River Svitze an enemy attempt to envelop our flank failed completely. At this point also We took prisoners and forced the ene- my to fall back in great disorder.” HOT MUNICIPAL PRIMARY HELD AT LOS ANGELES Suspended Chief of Police Won First Place on Ticket.
