GREAT WOMAN dies THE FRENCH SENATE
BARONESS BURDETT COUTTS
OF LONDON, ENGLAND.
Greatest and Most Famous Philan-
thropist Of the Country Passes
Away at Age of 90 Years-She
Lived During Reigns Of Five British
Sovereigns.

London, Jan. baroness Burdett-
Coutts, who has been i'll at her resi-.
dence since Christmas eve, is dead.
The death of Baroness Burdett-
Coutts, occurring at the age of 81
years, besides depriving the country Of
one Of it's greatest and most famous
philanthropists, removes from London
a unique personality. AS link with
the almost forgotten past, her life be-
binning during the reign Of Emperor
Napoleon, she lived during the reigns
of five British sovereigns. Inheriting
an immense fortune, she so used it as
to die beloved by the whole nation.
Her wonderful vitality led those
about her to believe as late as Friday,
when she rallied. that her life might
be prolonged, but on Saturday she
grew weaker. She was conscious to
the last moment and able to recog-
nize the members of her household,
70 each of whorl she babe last fare
WELL She died peacefully at 10:30
o'clock this morning.
During the last illness of the baron-
ess, III merous royal inquiries were
made at her home, Queen Alexandra
sending specially gracious message,
which the baroness was able to ap-
preciate and respond to. All the men,
;,ers of the royal family have wired
their coincidence to the husband Of the
baroness.
The baroress had been ill for nearly
two months, and confied to her room
for the last SIX weeks. Her illness be-
gan with Il cold, which developed into
acute bronchitis.
In recent years she had led rather
secluded life, passing her time either
at her town residence or at her coun-
try place Oh the outskirts of London,
near Highgate, where she formerly en-
tertained largely. She was great
patroness of art, science and 1itera-
ture, interfering little in politics.
Until quite recently she was a
well-known figure to Londoners, driv-
ing her donkey chase in the vicinity
of her home.
Baroness Burdette-Coutts was the
first peerless created in her own right
and the first woman presented with
honorary citizenship in London.
In 1887 Baroness Burdette-Coutts
married William Bartlett, an Ameri-
can, 81 years her junior. He assumed
the name of Burdett-Coutts, became a
British subject and has been and is
now prominent in progressive move
ments in his adopted country.
