The "BacheIor Girl"

Bachelor girl' is said to be dis tlacing "old maid" in current speech. Ben Jonson used the word "bachelor' to mean a single woman. In the old French "bachelette" meant a young and pretty girl, especially if she had a lover. Etymology has nothing to say against a feminine bachelor" since the word seems to be the late Latin "baccalarius, a farm servant, or more literally cowherd (bacca or vacca, meaning cow), and "baccalari- us" had a feminine "baccalaria"

The TeIegraphers' Strike

cial Photographers Union employ ed by the Postal and Western Union telegraph companies are still out on strike, now being on the eighth week. While the off cials of both telegraph companies claim they are handling all busl- ness offered, the officers of the union are equally positive that the telegraph business IS Gemor- alized; that not one-tenth of the normal business IS being handled at any of the principal offices, and that the greater portion of all business accepted by the tele- graph companies IS being sent by U. s. mail, and by special messen- gers with suit cases between the larger cities in the east. Both companies still accept business, but subject to indefinite delay and at the sender'S risk"
 As the telegrapher's union claim it's membership IS cOmpOs- ed of more than 90 per cent. of the commercial operators of the United States, 1t is difficult to un- derstand where the telegraph companies can get men to fill the places of the strikers as 1t IS well well known that under ordinary conditions there was a shortage ofgood operators.
 So far, neither side shows any signs of weakening and as the operators have adopted as their slogan the word "stick, and are wearing badges showing but that one word it looks as though it will be a fight to a finish.
 President Roosevelt has been asked by various boards of trade and other commercial bodies throughout the country to step in and get the telegraph com panies to arbitrate or come to some other means of settlement, and now the Chicago City Coun- cil has adopted resolutions ask ing the President to take such action; also requesting the coun- cils of other larger cities to res Olve' on the same lines, but as yet there seems to be no move on the part of MT Roosevelt.
