VICTORIA'S CLOSE FRIEND Inheriting Immense Fortune, She Spends It in. Improving I,ot of Poor Long Life Full of Good Deeds. ijOXDON, Dec. 30. Baroness Burdett Coutts, who has been 111 at her resi dence since Christmas, is dead. The death of Baroness Burdett Coutts, occurring at the age of 92 years, besides depriving' the country of ' one of Its greatest and most famous philanthropists, removes from London a unlqjie personality. As a link with the almost forgotten past, her life be ginning during the reign of Emperor Napoleon, she lived during the reigns of five British sovereigns. Inheriting n Immense fortune, he so used It as to die beloved by the :whole nation, from the Queen, who bestowed om her the warmest friendship, to the hum blest citizen. , Brave Fight With Death. Her wonderful vitality led those about her to believe as late as Friday, when ahe rallied, that her life might be prolonged, but on Saturday she grew worse. She was conscious to the last moment and able to recognize the members of her household, to each of whom she bade a last farewell. She died peacefully at 10:30 o'clock this morning. During the last Illness of the Baroness numerous royal Inquiries were made at her home, Queen Alexan dra sending a gracious message, which the Baroness was able to appreciate and respond to. All the members of the royal family have wired their condolences to the, husband of the Baroness. The Baroness had been 111 for near ly two months and confined to her room for the last six weeks. Her Ill ness began with a cold, which de veloped into acute bronchitis Lived in Seclusion Lately. In recent years she had led a rather secluded life, passing her time either at her town residence or at her country place on the outskirts of London near Hlghgatc, wher8 shy formerly enter tained largely. She was a great patroness of art, science and literature, interfering little In politics. Until quite recently she was a well-known llgure to Londoners, driving her don key chaise in the vicinity of her home. Baroness Burdett-Coutts was the first peeress created in her own right, and the first woman presented with honor ary citizenship in London. KICHKST AND KINDEST WOMAN Good Deeds Which Made English Poor Ixve Aged Baroness. The personal cannot fail to come In . a little when hearing of the death of a famous woman of your "aln auld coun- tree." When quite a child my imagina tion was fired by the magnificence of the wealth of the richest woman in England, for when staying with my grandmother I used to listen to talcs of it from a near relative of hers. Miss Otway. In 1S37 Queen Victoria was wakened from her sleep one night to hear from , the Archbishop of Canterbury that she was Queen. In her night dress she knelt before the good man, saying : "I will be good. Pray for me." The very same year Angelina Burdett : was raised to her throne of riches through the death of her grandfather, Coutts, the banker, and her resolve was the same. The whole world knows how truly both pledges have been carried out. These : girls were near the same age, and from that -time were close- friends. Miss Burdett-Coutts enjoyed the gaieties that followed the accession. But she had read her Dickens to some purpose and had got him to conduct her through some of his slums (when slums were not the fashion). The work she undertook at once ; was to transmute nests of thieves and murderers In Bethnal Green into 300 model homes. She was then attracted by "Novo Scotia Gardens," a nucleus for dis- . esse and tilth. This too was transformed . Into Columbia square as known today. The Columbia Fishmarket soon followed. ' that the poor might have fish as cheap os possible. Who does not en.loy a hearty laugh with the singer of "The Old Kent. Road" when he can be perwuaded to Indulge In that old costermonger's song? The year of the Queen's Jubilee Angelina Burdett Coutts had been offering prizes for these i eongs, and prizes too for the best kept horses and donkeys. So she had her jubi lee as well as the Queen. Dressed in their : long coats and brass buttons, the coster mongers marshaled their well-groomed , animals In their carts, all decked out In gay ribbons, round Baroness Burdett Coutts" London house, men and wives all 'Joining lustily in the jolly choruses. She was persuaded to come out on the balcony, with her silver hair and her kind, true face, and the crowd shouted: "The kindest woman In England, that she be!" This was the jubilee of the uncrowned queen of the poor. But It's a long stretch from accession to Jubilee. The young girl just out of her teens came of business stock. She was . not her father's daughter for nothing. So she undertook, from the Admiralty, a contract for Jack Tar's shirts, so as to employ poor women of the East End. She had her 8,ri0O.O0rt to provide for, and she enjoyed these personal things better than merely founding and endow ing bishoprics in Cape Town, Adelaide and British Columbia, to say nothing of London churches. Being president of the Destitute- Dinner Society, starting the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, a shoe-black brigade, etc., went perhaps closer to her heart's core. By the same token, while offering a . quarter of a million to the government for Ireland at the time of one of the potato famines, when the "Thatchin" of fie craythur was mighty heavy, and the liftln' was cruel light. It was then that the Baroness bought fishinar vessels for the people, starting them with money and clothing and helping many to emigrate. Tyater she herself visited the South of Ireland, where she had established fishing schools for the lads at Sklbereen and the parts round Cape Clear. The enthusiasm of the warm-hearted people knew no bounds. They gathered round her in dense crowds, tliat being the only way they could show their gratitude. , It's sometimes hard to teach an Irish man novel things. He wouldn't approve, for instance, of spraying diseased "per taties," when he'd say, "Sure and you'll leave naught for the Man above to dol" The Baroness was often rewarded by folks keeping: their word to her. When machinery ' came In to use, the hand-1 weavers of London starved.' She helped hundreds of these unfortunates to emi grate, lending them money for their com fort on arriving In Australia. It is a happy fact that her trust was not abused, but that the whole sum came back gradu ally from the colonists. This encouraged her to help the tanners in a like distress. What would the poor folk have done without her warm-hearted and open purse when the cholera epidemic broke out In 1S67? Trained nurses, sanitary Inspectors, men to distribute disinfectants she sup plied, to say nothing of food and clothing. The Baroness was a pioneer In organiz ing reformatories for women. The White lands Training College was a pet object with her. This hard-working woman, em ploying three secretaries, did not grow old with her weight of years. Her father. Sir Francis Burdett, was ahead of his times, and he may be called the father of electoral reform, which he considered his "hobby horse." And his daughter al ways kept pace with the new undertak ings of the age. Rhodesia won her spe cial Interest, and any young woman from her institution who would marry to go there received a handsome dowry at her hands. She was a real lover of art for art's sake and an eager purchaser of fine paintings. Her own home Is (I used to hear) a per fect museum filled with priceless gems of art, curios and souvenirs of her own per sonal friends from the world over. Srie retained her grace and charm of manner to the last, and up to the end of the last century was the youngest look ing woman of her age In society. General Gordon, a kindred spirit with herself In true philanthropy, paid one of his last visits to her on leaving for Khar toum. He carried about with him as a keepsake from her a pocketbook until his death. It was through her Instrumentali ty that the last letters and papers from home ever reached him. In 1S71 the Queen elevated her to the peerage as Baroness Burdett Coutts the only woman receiving that honor in rec ognition of her personal worth and ser vices to the country. Ten years later she married Edward Ashmead-Bartlett, of this country, who, as everyone knows, has been untiring In the organization and carrying out of his wife's many charities. His ability was speedily recognized in his adopted country, and he has been for years an active member of Parlia ment. Her husband's ready aid has en abled her to carry out her early resolve, "It Is for this I live: For the cause that needs assistance. And the good that I can do." LOUISA A'HMUTT NASH.
