AS agent for the Chldren's Aid So

connection with the temporary asylum
for destitute and orphan children ened
this week at Galveston by the Red Cross
society under the management of NJ s.
Clara Barton. My duty is to find perma-

through Miss Barton's asylum or in eed

done in a systematic manner personally

is placed, eXacting from each applicant

A LONG DELAYED BURIAL.
A Colorcd Woman who Died Friday
IL StilI UuburIed.

Several colored people applied to I'm
dertakers Ross & Wright yesterday to
have them bury a colored woman who,
according to their statement. died last
Friday at a house near Frey's store in
the Fifth ward back of the Cleveland
press. They complained that the body
was very much decomposed and was be-
coming obnoxious to the neighborhood,
hence they were not alone in their desire
to get it out OF the way They had, now
ever, up to that time neglected to Sc
cure a certificate of death from either
a physician or a coroner. without which,
or an order from the county, Ross d
Wright refused TO bury the body. None
of these requirements were complied with
up to 9 o'clock last night, up to which
time the olfactories of the neighborhooi
doubtless continued to be disturbed with
a force that was accelerated as time con
tlnued to multiply.
