WEALTHY WOMAN
ADVANCED IN YEARS
AN INTERESTING STORY is AT
TAcHED TO THE FORTUNE OF
RICHEST WOMAN IN WORLD.

Special to the Herald.
London. April 23.-The Baroness
Burdett-Coutts, distinguished as pos.
sessing more wealth than any other
private woman in the world. will be
ninety-two years old this week. The
venerable peress has been quite i'll
this winter and her recovery has been
so slow as to alarm her family and
friends. Despite her age and infirm-
tiles. she continues to take an active
interest in business affairs and also
in the countless charities and philan-
thropies which have made her name
famous throughout the United King
dom. The baroness is particularly
loved by the Whitechapel costermong-
ers in the East End. and has done
much to improve the care of the
clever. quick donkeys which the
hawkers drive through the most
crowded streets of London at quick
pace.
How her colossal fortune came to
Lady Burdett Coutts. and why it
should have come to her instead of
her elder sister, is an old story. but
none the less interesting. Her father
was Sir Francis Burdett. a well known
member Of parliament for the borough
the Westminster. and the last person
to be imprisoned in the Tower of Lon
don for political views. Sir Francis
married Sophia. a daughter of Thos.
Coutts. the London banker. who was
therefore the grandfather of both
Lady Burdett COutts and Mrs. Money
Coutts Old Tom Coutts. whose own
mother had been a scullery maid Of
the name of Elizabeth Starkey. after
losing his first wife. the mother of
Sophia Coutts. contracted a marriage
with Miss Marriet Mellon. a well
known actress. to whom on dying he
bequeathed his entire fortune, making
no provision for his daughter or for
his grandchildren.
Some time after his demise the
widowed Mrs. Coutts. the ex-actress,
married the Duke Of ST. Adams. She
seems. however. 10 have resented the
manner in which she was treated by
the family Of her second husband. AT
her death it was found that she had
left every penny Of her colossal for
tune to her step-daughter. Angela !

who had become a great favorite of
hers. The Duchess bequeathed -Xhis
fortune 10 Angela Bafdett on
that she should as
the name Of Coutts in addition
own. and that In the event of Yer
death without issue it should go to
one Of her older sisters. Clara Bur
dett II is by virtue of this will that
the bulk OF this fortune of Lady Bur
dett-Coutts will at her death go, not
to her American-born husband. but to
her nephew. Francis Burdett Money |

emphasized the thought that educa

think out problems for ones self. He
paid a high tribute to Inventors who
