The doors of museum hall were thrown
open last night for the first time this season.
1t presented bright appearance. Manager
Bunneu had on exhibition an attraction that
was every bit an attraction. It was "Baby
Bunting" not of New York fame, but a
freak of nature in the shape of a dwarfed
horse. 1t is no larger than goat, though its
mother was sixteen hands high. There were
some skeptics last night who declared that
the animal was pony. They soon changed
their minds, however, when showed it's teeth,
which conclusively showed that its age is at
least four years-rather old for pony.
The horse is good looking and well propor>
toned and will eat heartily of bran, greens
and rice galore, washed down with u quart of
milk punch. Mr.. e. z. Davey is the man
ager of Baby Bunting" This attraction win
be at Bunnell's this week and next.

THE NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.


This popular place of Amusement will open
its doors for the season on Monday night
next with A. NJ. Palmer's New York Madison
Square company in one of the greatest sue
cesses known in this country-Jim the PEN
man. The universal favor with which this
great play has been received Is doubtless due
to the fact that 1t appeals strongly to every
class of society, since its motives is drawn
from the most pregnant depths of human
nature, and its plot compasses the wide
ground of human nature. From the rugged
foundation of actuality the complete struc-
turs rises perfect in form and detail, until it
stands q confessed model of dramatic art
No dramatic work of modern times has been
80 thoroughly and universally successful wher
ever produced, which is ample evidence of
the manner in which Its story, its sentiment,
its comedy and its pathos appeal to the audi
tor. No small share of the favor it has en-
loved is doubtless due to the admirable man
ner in which it is played by Mr.. A. III.
Palmer's company, which that careful and
conscientious manager has selected for its in
terpretation. This is the final tour of the
play under his management, as he will retire
IL in favor of other successes after the pres
emit theatrical year.
The cast will be as follows: James Raj
ston, Mr.. Jos. E. Whiting; Louis Percival,
Mr. Henry Lee; Baron Hartfeld,s Mr.. Harry

Emperor Frederick weakeaing.

LONDON, March 1.-THE news received
from Berlin tonight anent the condition
Of Emperor Frederick is very meager and
unsatisfactory. The dispatches state, how
ever, that he is very restless, and has
since the burial OF the late Kaiser grown
peIcephbly weaker. Since his succession
TO the throne, it is said, his physicians
have fouud him much less tractable than
before, and ii is with the greatest difficulty
and under the influence of positive assur-
ances that his act would result fatally
that DR.. Mackenzie was able to prevent
his going to the Mausoleum yesterday.
The Emperor il now rich, but his income
previously was by no means adequate to
the demands Of his station. Indeed, had
he died before his father his widow would
have had scarcely Go, 900 year, which to
her would mean comparative poverty.
The people Of Berlin continue TO quietly
express the strongest dislike for the En-
press and hatred toward DR.. Mackenzie.
The insistence Of the Empress that her
marriage is partnership and not slavery
offends the German idea. and the people
stand ready to 20 as far as they dare to-
ward resenting any act Of hers that may
by any possibility be construed into inter
ference In State affairs.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The policy OF
obstruction and delay which has been uni
formly followed ty the Republicans on the
Ways and Means Committee in Eheir OpPo-
sition to the Mills bill has proved as futile
as it has been undignifed. The temporary
victory which they obtained in defeating
the proposition to have the com nittee sit
during the session Of the House was rem
dered ineffective by a resolution passed IN
the committee this morning to hold night
sessions until the bill is ready to report to
the House.
The effort to conceal the constantly
widening breach between the Republicans
on the committee is an arduous one. A
proposition was made to strike lumber
from the free list Upon this 1t was SUPP
posed the Republicans would be unan!-
nous. After the matter had been dis
cussed for few minutes it became evident
that the Republicans were as widely di-
vergent upon the lumber feature as on the
other tariff matters The only thing then
to do was to avoid betrayal of the situa-
tion by staving off a vote on the question.
This was accomplished by prolongiDg the
discussion until the usual hour Of adjourn
ment, and the free lumber proposition
was left suspended, like Mohammed's
coffin, in midair

WEST VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC,
Senator Faulkner Promises Mr.. ClevelaEd
q Good Round Majority.

Senator Faulkner Promises Mr.. Clevelard d
a Good Round Majority.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March lS.-Sens-
tor Faulkner, of West Virginia, says there
is not the slightest probability that the
Republicans can carry that State next au-
tumn. Even the nomination of General
Golf to the second place on the ticket
would have no sppreciable effect upon the
gen eral result.
"West Virginia." said Mr.. Faulkner,
sis always Democratic when we choose to
make her so. In off years our ma
iority dwindles down simply because
our people regard the State as safe and do
not come out and vote. In Presidential
years it is different. We then effect q
thorough organization, and our majority
never drops below 5000. This year, with
out exerting ourselves in the least, we
shall probably give Mr.. Cleveland about
5000 majority"
"Will the tariff question cut much of
figure in your election this year," Senator
Faulker was asked.
He replied: "The Democratic party OF
West Virginia recognize the Importance ol
reducing the rapidly increasing surplus OF
Sl55, 900, 900 in the United States Treas
ury. All our local interests that would he
affected by reduction Of customs would,
in common with other interests throughout
the country, be willing to stand tbeiI
share of a fair reduction on the articles
protected in our State"

Special Telegram TO tie RsgiStEr,
HUNTINGTON, March 18.-The death OF
General John b. Obey, which occurred here
Sunday evening, March II, cast gloom
over the city deeper and more universal
than has ever been known here before.
General Obey had been closely identified
with interests Of the city for the past six
teen years. He was the resident agent OF
the Central Land Company, and as such
had been the leading spirit in building to
the city. He had also held the offices OF
City Recorder and City Treasurer ever
since these offices were first created by the
formation OF the city government. He
was so universally loved and honored by
the people of the city that his sudden
death caused q tremendous shock OF sur
prise and grief through all classes.
A meeting of the citizens was held Mon
day morning, at which il was decided to
send a request to his brother, Simon Obey,
in New York, to permit his remains to be
buried here. The permission was obtained
and the citizens held another general
meeting Monday evening when many OF
the leading business and professional men
of the town spoke of the virtues Of the
honored dead and of the high esteem in
which he was held. One after another the
various organizations of every character
met and adopted resolutions expressive oil
the sense of the universal loss. All du'
ring the week flags have been flying at
half mast from all the public buildings.
Thursday afternoon the remains were con-
yeyed to the City Hall, escorted by the
Grand Army Post and the Kentucky Light
Infantry, where they laid in state till the
funeral, and were viewed by over six thou
sand people.
The funeral was to have taken place on
Thursday, but on account of the inability
of the brother and sister of Gen. Obey to
reach the city it was postponed until this
morning at IL o'clock. The funeral was
the largest ever seen in this city, and was
attended by about half the population.
The Masonic fraternity, the Knights and
Ladies of Honor, the Grand Army OF the
Republic, and the hook and ladder COM
pany all attended the obsequies in body,
as did also the employees Of the Ensign
Manufacturing Company and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad shops. The SER
vices were held at the Episcopal Church,
which was literally jammed with people,
while the concourse that followed the re-
mains to their last resting place in Spring
Hill Cemetery, Of which the General was
the founder. 1t is very probable that 8
fitting monument will be erected TO his
memory by citizens and the city.
