Going For Reai.Estnte Agents.

The real estate agents will be promptly
proceeded against in the Police Court for
failing to comply with the law requiring
them to make semi-annual returns of their
commissions to the District and pay tax
Of one cent on every dollar received as
commission for sales of property. The first
return must be made on January 10 but the
Congressional relief. The relief was not
however, afforded, and the real-estate men,
who have not yet made the returns due
three months ago, will be prosecuted.
A very small percentage of the real-es-
tate men have complied with the law, and
the prosecutions will probably be very nu-
merous. Henry Raft has been instructed
to present the cases as soon as possible.

Precautions Against smallpox,

to the principal of the public school on N
street, between Sixth aud Seventh streets,
in which lie says that as one of the family
residing at No. 1906 Seventh street, in
which case Of smallpox has been recently
developed, attended the school, it would be
well to adjourn the school as precaution-
ary measure, until it is ascertained whether
the disease has been communicated to any
of the pupils.
There is thought to be no cause for alarm,
but all the pupils will be vaccinated and
the school probably adjourned until the Goth

The Power Of Prayer.

There Is an eye that never sleeps
Beneath the wing of night;
There Is an err that never shuts,
When sink the beams Of light.
There is an arm that never tires,
when human strength gives away;
There is q love that never falls
When earthly loves decay.
That eye Is fixed on seraph throngs,
That arm upholds the sky;
That ear is filled with angels songs,
That love ls throned on high.
But there's power which man can WELD
When mortal aid is vain
That eye, that arm, that love TO reach,
That listening ear to gain.
That power is prayer, which scars on high
Through Jesus to the throne,
And moves the hand that moves the world,
To bring salvation down,

Another Supposed Suicide.
The Body of a Woman Found i'm the liar
 bOr Near Long Wharf

The Body of Q Woman Found in the Har-
 bOr Near Long Wharf
 Yesterday afternoon about o'clock while two lads named Harry Ives and Willie Lavett, who live on Edgar street, were walking down Long Wharf, a short distance below Prentice P. Avery's store, they discovered the dead body of Q woman in the water. They gave notice to ''Pop" Wright. who is employed as boatman at the custom house, and he teIe- phoned to the police office. Word was sent to Dr. M. 0. White, the medical examiner in the county coroner's department, who re. paired to the place indicated at once. Police men Bissell and Rice were also sent to the wharf to secure the body and bring it to the morgue. The woman was found about three feet from the wharf with her feet in the mud and her body bending for ward, her face in the water. By the aid of 8 boat the body was secured and brought ashere and taken in an express wagon to the morgue. There Dr. White made an exani- nation of the clothing and body. The wo- man, who was apparently thirty-fv or forty years of age, was dressed in light calico dress with scanty underclothing. In the pocket of her dress was found door key, but there were no marks on her clothing that disclosed who she was. The doctor did not discover any bruises on the body except 8 small scratch over the left eye, which she probably received when she jumped or fell into the water. All the indications, such as her nearness to the wharf, her feet being fast in the mud, pointed to case of suicide. The woman's height is feet inches. She has dark brown hair, and the contour of her face would seem to indicate that her nation ality is Irish.
 Coroner Bollman said last evening that he would wait until this morning before de- ciding as to the disposition of the body. He thought that perhaps some one would come in to-day who would recognize the deceased, and would know something about her life. He has no doubt about it being a case of sui ride
