MANASSAS, VA, dc. >, 1850.
Editor Democrat:
Excitement ran high in our busy little
town during the campaign, but every
thing has quieted down now, and people
are Interested in congress, which con-
yened the eth of this month.
Our railroad facilities bring US so near
the capital city that we are almost IN
hearing of the congressional oratory'
which echoes through those noted halls
and corridors daily. The Washington
Star daily delivered to resident sub
scribers about z. NJ, reaches US an
hour later, as we have through train
coming here few minutes past D. Thi:
train brings our Congressman Meredith,
and numerous clerks, who are employed
in Washington and reside in Manassas
NV Youngest daughter attends school In
Washington, and boards at home. In
deed. consider this one Of the most de-
sirable locations in the country. SO TAI
only few days of cold weather, not
cold enough TO iDjure vegetables still IL

the ground yesterday in excellent condi'
ton.
A letter just IeceSeo iiou "SP'S
In Dakota tells OF "terrible billiards,
banks of snow six feet deep, trains block

storms, great loss Of stock, etc. II
makes one shiver to read OF 1t.
Just across the way from US Is an ex'
tensive dairy farm, owned by German

ADAM AND EVE.

lSe.
You have hear.l Of Eve and Adam.
Up in Eden long ago,
In the land OF ease and plenty,
Ere the weeds began 70 grow
They were married by the angels
Meath the d. tree-i suppose,
Long before old Mrs. Grumpy
Thought 80 much about their clothes.
For \ season they were happy,
Living without care or toll.
TIN the wumAn-God forgive her
StrAyed within the serpents coll
After this she plucked the apple,
Ate aud gave the man the core,
But II choked him In his swallow,
Lodging there fOrcyermore-
Then she sewed together ng leaves
For herself and his ATTIRE
But. compared 10 modern dresses,
IL was but slim affair.
When the Lord IN cool OF morning,
Waking In the garden came,
Man charged all the guilt 20 woman
She on Satan laid the blame.
Forth he drove them out from Eden.
Curses followed in their flight
She 10 bear ia sin and sorrow,
He 20 sweat, with weeds 10 nght.
Down the ages fraught with sorrow,
Man has sweat and TILED the grounu'
And the woman-heayen bless her
true helpmeet has been found.
In this mystic tie and union,
Born mid Eien's sin and strife,
-. -, f,up6 their sweetest pleasure
In the bond Of husband, Wife
So tonight "a friends and kinared'
Trersures 20 the altar bring,
And with these our hearts best Wishes
As the silver bells We ring.
Five and twenty years OF living
Mid the lows and cares of life;-
Ifit hasn't all been Eden.
Don't charge all upon the wife.
IL the wife don't get TO flirting
With that fellow" DER the way,
We will call again 10 see you
on your golden wedding day.

WILLIAM STEINWAY,
The Famous Piano Manufacturer,
Passes AWAY

New York, Nov. 3O.-William Stein
i'd transit commissioner, died at $3.50
o'clock this morning at his residence.
&c Gramercy Park. Death was due to
typhoid fever.
Mr. Steinway had been i'll at his
home for three weeks, suffering from
typhoid fever. During last week the
PATIENTS condition improved, and al
though he experienced a bad spell in
the middle of the week, he Immediately
rallied, and his family and friends were
confident of his ultimate recovery. Mr..
Steinway suffered a relapse yesterday
morning, however, and rapidly grew
worse. He fingered until $3.50 o'clock
to-day, when he passed away. He was
unconscious at the moment of death.
William Steinway was born on March
s. 1896, in Seesen, Duchy of Brunswick.
He began his education at the school
of his birthplace, and afterwards con-
tinued his studies at the Jacobsohn
High school. He soon mastered the
German, English and French languages
and also became highly proficient in
music, He came with his family to
this country in 1850.
His personal preference induced him
to pursue the career of a piano maker,
and he was apprenticed to William
Nunns e. Co, who were then located
at So Walker street, New York. He re-
manned with the Messrs. Nunns until
1858, when, with his father and two
brothers, Messrs. Charles and Henry
Steinway, jr., he aided in founding the
house of Steinway & Sons. He had
become a thoroughly skilled and prac-
teal piano maker.
Mr.. Steinway never sought recogni-
ton in the political world, although he
had at various periods of his career
been offered the highest honors and
most prominent positions in the demo-
cratic party, of which he was a dis
tinguished member. He was a leading
member of the famous committee of
seventy that proved such a strong foe
for Tammany in 1871, and destroyed the
influence of the Tweed regime at that
period.
He was unanimously elected a mem
Der of the national democratic commit
tee in 1888 as a delegate to the st. Louis
convention which nominated Cleveland
for a second term.
He was electorat-large, heading the
presidential ticket of the state of New
York at the election of November, 1892
He presided over the immense mass
meeting of German-American demo-
Gratis held October 2, 1892, and also
made a most effective speech in favor
of ~ h.
was personally acquainted since 1856.

PERSONAL NOTES.

A very interesting Thanksgiving
family gathering was that at the resi-
dence of Major and Mrs. B. F. Mans
field, 1874 Wooster street, at which TWEEN
ty-eight sat down to the table, repre-
senting four generations. Mr. Mans
field, the great grandfather and host
of the day, has been for sixty years one
of New Ravens solid citizens and pub
lie men, always taking an active inter
est in everything pertaining to the
progress and advancement of the City
of Elms. Major Mansfield was one of
the best town agents New Haven has
ever had, and as selectman and bust
ness man and as a major in the old
time militia, was ever most thorough
and valued officer. 1t was a fine old
Thanksgiving in every respect, and in
the evening the diners were reinforced
by large number of intimate friends
hidden to enjoy the reunion. The fam
lilies represented were those of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas r. Beers Of Wooster
street, Mr. and Mrs. Edward F. Mans
field of Academy street, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Doty of New York city, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank B. Walker of York
street, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Bunnell of
Willow street, Mr.. and Mrs Abel w.
Walker of Pleasant street DR.. and Mrs
e. j. Walker, Charles Walker and Miss
Grace Walker of Chapel street.
At the opening of the State House
cafe, 125 State street, Saturday even
ing, which was largely attended, a. fine
turkey lunch was served by Mr. Jack
Walton, who has the reputation of
being one of New Havens best chefs.
Mr.. Walton has associated himself with
Eugene Horn at the above named
place.
Miss Fanny Robbins of Norwich who
is connected with Miss Cady's school in
this city, Is at her home for a few days,
having as her guest Miss Cochrane of
Houston, Texas.
Miss Abbie Merwin of Kensington
has completed a course at Gaffey' S
shorthand school, New Haven, and
taken a position at the New England
brick exchange, New Britain, which
was filled by Miss Lillian Webb, who
recently resigned.
