Baroness Burdette-Coutts Dead.

London, Jan. I.—Baroness BurdettCoutts, who has been ill at her residence here since Christmas Eve, is dead. The death of Baroness BurdettCoutts, occurring at the age of 92 years, besides depriving the country of one of its greatest and most famous philanthropists, removes from London a unique personality and an interesting social figure. As a link with the almost forgotten past—her life beginning during the reign of the Emperor Napoleon she lived during the reigns of five British sovereigns. Inheriting an immense fortune she used it as to die beloved by the whole nation.
