token Of esteem from the employees Of Luna

acted as master of ceremonies, and made
the presentation speech. He spoke of how
much better 1t is to go through life with q
kindly feeling for your fellowman, regard
less of rank or station. 1t takes kindly
nature to make friends and a sincere one
to keep them, he said, and the employees
OF the park recognize these splendid traits
in their manager, and that Is what prompted
the gift. Mr.. Goodfellow knew nothing of
the transaction until the affair was brought
to his notice last evening, and in response,
being completely overwhelmed, he left his
actions he said, to show his gratitude
For many years it has been Mr.. Goodfel
lows custom to carry a walking stick, and
In bidding his thoughtful friends adieu, he
told them the cane and himself from now
on would be inseparable, and each time he
erasped the staff in hand it would recall
pleasant recollections of the event that time
will not be able to erase from his mind.

KREIGER AGAIN IN TROUBLE.
Charged With Swindling Women on
Matrimonial Venture.

Adolph kreiger, alias Frederick SER, the
alleged swindler who recently escaped from
a deputy marshal after being brought to
this city from Newark, N. j., to answer
charge Of having obtained $500 from Mrs.
Cora l. Arnold upon promise Of marriage,
as heretofore stated in The Star, is al
legged to have swindled a woman in Mil
waukee since he escaped from here In
formation of the latest swindle came to
Maj. Sylvester yesterday in letter from
John t. Jansen, chief Of police Of Mil
waukee. He stated that kreiger visited
Milwaukee few days ago and married a
widow, getting $3.50 from her and then leav-
ing for parts unknown. The woman, Ch1ef
Jansen states, is anxious to ascertain If
she is the lawful wife Of the alleged swim
dler.
The Milwaukee police official states that
the photograph of kreiger was reproduced
in a Chicago paper few days ago, the pic
ture being identified as the likeness of the
man who became the husband of the Mil
waukee widow. Maj. Sylvester responded
to the inquiry by stating that the 1nfor-
nation in possession of his officers is that
kreiger has at least three wives. Maj. Syl-
vester and Inspector Boardman are ex-
tremely anxious to cause Kreigers appre-
hension. His capture in Newark was ef-
fected after many months of work, and
the police officials were disappointed at
not getting him when he was brought here
by deputy marshal.
Kreiger was brought here about the mid
die of May. He succeeded in gaining, the
confidence of the officer who brought him
and induced the latter to go with him to
Baltimore, saying he was satisfied he could
raise funds In that city. The officer per-
mitted him to enter a restaurant alone, and
the prisoner escaped by passing through
the business place and leaving by way OF
the rear door. Since then the local police
have sent out additional circulars asking
that he be arrested.
