hat the by Frank Speaight,- of London, Eng-
same as land. The audience, which was larger
rimming than the usual S. L. A. crowd, attested
et uue- the popularity of one of the greatest
to try nineteenth century novelists.
ith will Mr. Speaight's impersonations were

ters associated with him in the story
>e: which takes his name. Some of the
most amusing episodes in the book
were depicted, the most entertaining
being reached in the picture of "The
Great Trial of Bardell vs. Pickwick."
In delineating the feminine principals
Mr. Speaight showed remarkable
knowledge of his characters.
The entertainer of last evening
brought with him the peculiar variety
of "cockney" which is native to the
E land of Dickens and he bore all the
~ITTEE. "touches" of the environment in which
his characters lived. This familiarity
ands of with the world of Pickwick and his
e friends lent a refreshing reality to the
recital. ,

Editor of The Michigan Daily:-
I trust it may be permitted one
whose first interests are in Ann Arbor,
even though he is not at the moment
a student there, to express through
your columns his opinions on a sub-
ject that should be of immediate con-
cern to the campus at large.
Let me preface what'I have to say
with the- remark that I spent last Sun-
day- and Monday in Ann Arbor. Would
I were gifted with the epic genius of
a Homer! 'Tis near a profanation to
treat in less immortal phrase of the
gentleman whose abilities I should
like to celebrate. I mean the janitor
of Tappan hall. He has achieved the
impossible. He has lifted up Olympus.
He has piled Pelion on Ossa. He has
established a drinking fountain, an un-
assuming but a perfectly acceptable
drinking fountain, in the arid wastes
of Tappan hall. With instruments no
more formidable than a few inches of
rubber tubing and a short piece of
string,'but with an inventive genius
and an energy unrivalled in the history
of the university, he has pointed the
'water supply of Ann Arbor (such as
it is) toward Heaven, an'd the thirsty
may now be refreshed. I salute him.
During the three years that I was in'
Ann Arbor the editorial column of
The Michigan Daily lifted its -voice in
frequent but vain protest against the
absence of suitable drinking facilities
in the campus buildings. The adminis-
trative officers of the university seem-
ed unmoved by the appeal, and one
was almost forced to the conclusion-.
teat they were not dependent on Ann
Arbor's water for the quenching of
their thirst They did set up a foun-'
tain in University hall; but this foun-
tain itself blushed for their niggardli-
ness and durst not, though it would,
flow freely for any length of time. It
was left to the janitor of Tappan hall
to put to shame the brilliance of the'
campus, and to make the name of his
calling (who shall say it is less?)
henceforth a badge of glory. I com-
mend the phychologists to a study of'
his mental processes, and the respon-
sible officials of the university to an
imitation of his most aAmirable'activi-'
ty. Yours respectfully,
ROBERT P. LANE, '12 Lit.

BULLETIN WILL BE OUT SOONT
For a last farewell tour of'the sea-
son, the university musical clubs will
make a trip to Detroit 'a week from
today, April 26th. A concert has been
arranged for that evening under the
auspices of the University of Michigan
Club of that city. Both the glee and
mandolin clubs will share in the pro-
gram which will include many of the
special numbers so successful on the-
Pacific coast trip.
The concert promises to be one of
SUFFRAWISTS HOLD BIG RALLY,
Mrs. Jenny Hardy Tells .of Women of
New Zealand,
"Women are their sister's keepers"
said Mrs. Jenny Law Hardy, formerly
of New Zealand, at the equal suffrage
rally held in the High School' 1.11
last night.. "During the first ten
years of suffrage in New Zealand many
important acts were passed, among
them the eight hour law for women,
the bill against absentee landlordisn,
old age pensions, and the wage bill.
In 1890 New Zealand was bankrupt,
today it is the richest country per cap-
ita in the world."
Mrs. Mary L. Doe, of Bay City, gave
the history of the Michigan Suffrage
Association and told of their struggle
with the legislature and the voters.
The meeting last night was part of
'a state wide campaign which is to be
launched this spring and. summer to
secure votes for equal suffrage -hen
the question comes to a vote in of
ber. The plans will be discussed a
meeting of the administrative ,d

UNION CANVASS IS A SUCCESS.
Committeemen Secure Many Life Mem-
berships During Vacation.
Judging from incomplete returns of
the canvass which was conducted by
undergraduates during spring vaca'
tion for Michigan Union life member-'
ships, fully ten per cent of the alumni
of the last five classes who were ap.
prOached, took out the memberships.
It has been impossible to tabulate the
results because a large number of the
committeemen have just reported with-
in the last few days.
Practically every town in Michigan
was allotted to students, and a large
number of the other cities of any size
throughout the country were worked.'
Committeemen who have not yet re-
ported are asked to fill out the cards'
that were given them and hand them'
to Homer Heath at the Union on Sat-
urday. The results will be compiled'
and the promises that were given in!
a number of cases will be followed
up later,
RELATIVES OF JUNIOR GIRL
ARE RESCUED BY CARPATHIA
Among those who were fortunate to
escape the disaster of the Titanic,
were Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson Bishop,
the brother and sister-in-law of Mary

Mr. and Mrs. Bishop were first class
passengers on the ill-fated Titanic and
were returning to America from a tour
of the Holy Land. A cablegram, re-
ceived by Miss Bishop, stated that her
relatives were safe aboard the rescue
ship Carpathia, and that they would
arrive in New York this morning.

The Ineligibles, as the team is call- tory, as

the athletic offices yesterday asking for At the
a game with Michigan. Although of finger,

en, Director Bartelme answered the
challenge and inquired the various
causes of ineligibility and whether the
team was playing with the consent of
the faculty. If the men are ineligible
under the Michigan rules, they
cannot of course be played,
or if they have not the .per-
mission of the faculty, courtesy de-

nothing to prevent a game.

it is sincerely to be hoped that the
match can be arranged. Certainly it
would arouse a great deal of interest
besides being a good game.
