murders Michigan has ever known. After
a diligent inquiry into-the circumstances

Death Of Nine. Ratazzi de Rute, One
Of Europe's Most Celebrated
Women.

Paris, Feb 6.-Mme. Ratazzi de Rute,
directress of the Nouvelle Revue Interna-
tionale, died to-day. She was for years
one OF the most celebrated women ia
Europe. She was the daughter of Letitia
Bonaparte, niece .of Napoleon l., and
Thomas Wyse, once British minister to
Greece. She was born at Waterford in
1927.
Comparatively poor, she had boundless
ambition. After passing an examination
to become ag overness, in 1850. she at
tracted the attention Of wealthy Al
satan, the Prince de solms,. whom she
asked to marry her, and he did. Two
years later an imperial decree banlshed
her from Paris and formal separation
was effected From 1853 to 1860, the prin-
cess lived in Savoy and at Nice, where
she became intimate with many of the
leading French writer's, notably Eugene
Sue and Ponsard. She herself wrote a
number Of novels. On the annexation OF
Savoy she returned to Paris. In 1852 she
married the eminent italian statesman,
Urbaca Rattazzi, who died in 1873. After
ward she married "a Spanish engineer and
deputy, Senior de Rute.

PEARSON MUST GO
Trustees Find That He Is
Guilty Of ImprOpriety.


Chicago, Feb. professor Charles w.
Pearson will be asked to resign from the
faculty of Northwestern university if the
report of the committee appointed to in
vestigate his case is accepted by the ex-
ecutive committee of the board of trus-
tees The decision was reached after a
twc-hour session last night, at which the
communication written by the professor
on. Tuesday was read and the case re-
viewed. The report, it is said, will de-
clare that Professor Pearson has trans
crossed the rules Of propriety in openly
declaring the fallibility of the Bible while
occupying a chair in an institution sup
ported mainly by contributions from
members of the Methodist church, and
that he should seek a chair in some lib.
eral institution where he would be at
liberty to preach any doctrine he might
desire For these reasons the conclusion
is drawn that the university trustees
should ask Professor Pearson to resign.
