His Career Was Full of Incident and
Adventure.

A career full of incident and adventure
and replete with the tickle plays of for
tune closed yesterday afternoon. when
Joseph F. MoIlere died at Freedmeu's Hos
pital, after a brief illness of cholera NOR
bus For years his massive figure had
been one of the most familiar about the
uptown hotels and resorts frequented by
men, and everywhere his fund of reminis-
cence and anecdote was welcome, for his
stories were based on personal experiences
and were laid in nearly all parts of the
world, where the adventurous spirit of the
raconteur had carried him.
Mr.. Mollere for the past four years had
been totally blind. and depended upon a
young guide to make his way around. He
was apparently well yesterday morning
when he arose and breakfasted. About 10
o'clock he complained of indigestion and,
rapidly growing worse, was seized with
commissions. He was removed in the sec
ond precinct ambulance to Freedmen's
Hospital but was beyond aid. His condi-
ton grew steadily more serious, and he
died about o'clock. The body was re-
moved to Lees undertaking establishment,
on Pennsylvania avenue near I'd street.
where the funeral will occur Saturday
afternoon at o'clock, interment being at
Arlington.
Mr.. Mollere was over sixty-five years old

war broke out he became a captain in
Louisiana regiment and was with Gen.

FOR PAYMENT OF ANNUITY.
Suit in Equity to Enforce IN Agree.
menf.

ment.
Suit In equity to recover an annuity has
been instituted by Flora Adams Darling,
through Attorneys W. b. Matthews and c.
A. Kegwin, against the Washington Loan
and Trust Company and Nancy Darling
and Charles T. Darling. The annuity is
alleged to be due the complainant from the
proceeds Of an estate held in trust by the
Washington Loan and Trust Company.
The estate referred to originally belonged
to Joshua Pierce, who died in 1863. 1t was
later possessed by Susan Gay Beatrice
klingle. a daughter of Pierce's nephew.
This daughter married a son of the COM
plainant. According to the bill, Susan Gay
Beatrice klingie. who became the daugh-
ter-in-law of the complainant, agreed to
pay the latter, in consideration for services
said to have been rendered in connection
with a certain legal proceeding an annuity
of $50 month This annuity, 1T is stated.
was paid up to the time of the death Of
the daughter-in-law in February, 1895. The
estate was left to the Washington Loan
and Trus. Company in trust for the benefit
of the two children of the daughter-in-law.
Since the transfer TO the trust company,
says the complainant. she has not been
paid the annuity to which. she says. she is
entitled under the terms Of the agreement
with her daughter-in-law.

Electrical Typevriter Patent

patent has just been granted to the
Cahill Writing Machine Manufacturing
Company which is said to be of great i'm
portance Its broad claims cover practical
" all typewriting machines in which a
single electromagnetic or other motor de-
vice IS used to impel a plurality of type
bars. This patent and the other patents
owned by the Cahill company are said to
give that company a practical monopoly
of electrical typewriters of all sorts both
those with the "Universal' keyboard and
those with the piano keyboard. The cleo
trical machines, it is claimed, are much
easier to operate and much more rapid tina
the old-style machines, and after years of
experiment and preparation are now being
placed upon the market by the Cahill
company.
The electrical typewriter is the invention
OF young Washington lawyer 1t has been
worked out by Washington mechanics with
the money of Washington capitalists. The
business, though yet in its infancy, gives
employment TO nearly 100 people, and the
stockholders, most of whom are Washing
ton men, expect to make fortunes.

IL the IultOr OF Inc Evening Star:
1t Is matter Of note that in no country
In the world are the rights of the weak
respected as much in our own United
states OF America. and. therefore, one
would think that the sick, delicate. aged.
and those whose physical condition is below
normal would appreciate this fact and find
In 1t cause for great thankfulness.
For city of it's size Washington is about
as quiet anu peaceful at all hours as one
who has investigated similar conditions In
other cities could wish. Yet it will be no.
ticeG that Notwithstanding the numerous
blessings which residents of our cfty enioy.
and which am sorry to say are often un-
appreciated, there has lately been organ
lzed In our midst a Knockers Club"
among Its members are The Man Who
Detests Midnight Whistling," Insomnia .
Sufferer" THE Man Who Lives In Too
Close Proximity to His Neighbors' Roost-
ers. and many others, too numerous to
mention.
ton of Knockers If they would restrict
their lamentations to those of their tmme-
date families. or pour their troubles into
the ears OF their NOTWITHSTANDING: but they
are not content. They force themselves
upon people burdened with troubles Of their
own and even presume to intrude upon the
sanctity OF mans after-dinner smoke
This is accomplished by airing their views
In the daily papers. What good does any
man accomplish by informing the good peo-
pie of Washington that an unknown colored
man whistled in front of his house at 1890
on certain night; or that one of his neigh
hors keeps three Leghorn roosters and
three Bantams, all celebrated for the ex-
IRENE lustiness of their vocal organs?
1t does seem to me that 1t has taken some
people mighty long time to discover that
life Is not one long, sweet dream, and to
all those people who prefer to inconvenience
themselves and go mile out of their way
for no other reason in the world than to
kick and knock about everything in
general, l would say: Spend part of your
vacation in the New York city tenement
district, or sleep next to a boiler factory or
an infant asylum for few weeks and then
come back to Washington again and be
thankful. WILLIAM P. MCKEE

Were Merely Nectarines.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 the Efltor OF Inc fbveHluR SUIT.
The peculiar specimen of fruit sent
from Cumberland to Prof. Johnson, con-
corning which reference is made in your
issue of the 21st, has been received at our
office, and, in the absence of Prof. John
son, it has come to my attention.
The fruit in question is a nectarine, and
is peculiar only in the fact that 1t Is sell
dom seen growing. The nectarine is a
sport from the peach, and in reality it may
properly be considered peach with a
smooth or glossy skin. Such sports, while
comparatively rare, are not uncommon.
This volunteer tree in Cumberland simply
happens to be the hundred thousandth one
to sport in this way, while the $3.50 other
seedlings have behaved in the way peach
seedlings are expected to behave. If the
pits from these fruits should be planted,
the chances are that the seedlings, when
they come to fruit, would bear ordinary
peaches.
Such sports freaks in nature are by
no means uncommon, and the horticulturist
is the one above all others to catch nature
at these little mysterious and unexplain-
able FRANKS Yours truly,
H. P. GOULD.

culturist.
