NEEDS PROPELLER WHEEL.
Steamer City Of Milford on Marine
WAYS at Alexandria.

The steamer City of Milford of the fleet
of the Potomac and Chesapeake Steam
boat Company was yesterday morning
taken to Alexandria to be hauled out on
the marine railway at the Alexandria
shfpyard in order to fit her with a new
propeller wheel. AS the steamer was
coming out of MattoX creek about two
weeks ago on her last trip before being
relieved by the steamer Wakefield on the
route, her propeller struck a submerged
obstruction and broke off one of the
fukes. Despite her disabled condition
Capt. Will Davis made all landings and
brought the steamer to this city under
her own steam
A new wheel for the vessel arrived here
last week and was taken to Alexandria
aboard the steamer. How long she will
be on the railway depends upon the diff
ficulty encountered in removing the old
wheel. The installation of the new wheel
will require but few hours work.
On completion Of the work on the City
of Milford it is stated she will be brought
to this city to lay up until she is needed
to relieve one of the other steamers now
running on river routes.

Walters Strike and Tipping.

10 the Editor OF The Star:
While a strike of hotel walters is on is
good time to consider the conundrum,
us tipping bribery or beggary?" The
answer is that it is both Of these. First,
some men with more money than man
ners bribe walters to give them more
and better food and quicker service than
they are entitled to by the rule of next"
and the square deal" In this way
man who looks like a gentleman and
aspires to be counted one, gets his order
filled ahead of a lady at the next table
who came in before him. His tip is,
therefore, not only bribery but discour-
tesy.
Others in self-protection, not from gen.
erosity, adopt the tip. and the proprietor,
seeing guests determined to pay half or
more of the wages, pays only half what
the waiter is entitled to. Then he be-
comes a beggar, dependent on the pa
irons charitable aid and making servile
appeal in acts if not in words Mean
time many resent a condition calling for
such beggars and bribery and go to
popular "one-price" resta urants, where
there is prompt service without servility.
That the tipping plan is unsatisfactory
to walters as well as guests is indicated
by strikes of the hotel walters, pre-
viously in New York and now in Wash
ington-this time perhaps because the
commercial travellers agreement to quit
tipping altogether January 1 of this
year may have encouraged at least a few
to make their declaration of indepen-
dence. WILBUR F. CRAFTS.
