Under the Dome" Lincoln j. Carriers
new sensational comedydrama, will return
to Tie Park tomorrow for three days. AS
Will be remembered, this is a naval play,
the main incidents of which were suggested
by the attempted seizure of the Samoan
islands by the German government in 1883
and 1889 The scenes in the play made
strong impression when presented at the
park early in the season. One shows the
passage Of "A ferryboat from Jersey City TO
New York at night. When the boat first
leaves the Slip i'm Jersey City the huge black

A HOG BACK TRACK.
One at l.. a. ". Park VIII Follow
the French Idea.

The plans for the new track to be built
by the indianapolis Cycle Track Associa-
ton have been perfected and it is expected
that the work Of construction will begin
soon. The contract has not been let, but 1t
is only a matter of a few days. 1t has
not yet been, decided whether the work shall
be done by local contractors, under the
supervision of an expert, or whether the
contract shall be let as a whole to a pro-
fessional track builder The work will cost
about the same either way. Thomas NJ
Cattel, who has been here in consultation
with members of the track company, will
get the contract if the latter course is fol-
lowed, while under the former plan C. W.
Ashinger, OF New York, will have charge
of the construction OF the track Mr. Cat
tel built the Detroit track and several 9TH
ers. Mr. Ashinger has been building tracks
for number of years and is considered the
best authority on track construction in the
United States. He has built the only hog
back" track in this country.
Inasmuch as the Indianapolis track is to
pe OF the hog-back' pattern, it is likely
that Mr.. Ashingers services will be secured
This style of track is a French idea 1t
was first seen in the Seine track at Paris
1t is built on the theory that less banking
is needed on a larger than a smaller track
instead, therefore, of banking the track

sometimes into distant States; and though

Several weeks ago when the weather was
mild the good man went off on hunting

going to a big river, hire small boat and
go up a smaller stream, where wild ducks
were said to abound. The party was away

Of the booty only five ducks. AS we had

the ducks remarked: George, never saw
you enjoy ducks so before in all our mar

ducks or did you get such a ravenous ap-
petite for them while you were away?' The
man laid down his knife and fork and said:

Her Gentle Expression.

was just as angry as Iccould be when that
picture was taken; that idiotic old photog-
rapher had pulled and hauled my head
around; he had stuck my chin up and had
stuck it down; I had offered suggestions

a perfect rage; he wouldn't let me have my
own way about a single detail Of my
pose. just before he uncovered the camera,
however, 1 realized that 1 was so veXed that
my picture would 3doOaoG cross, so L tried
hastily to think Of something quieting-
some lovely line of poetry that would give
me an intellectual and pleasing expression.
All could think of was Keats's words:
All, happy, happy boughs, that cannot
shed
Your leaves, nor ever bid the spring adieu,
but they staid on my mind just one second,

vexed again, and was saying to myself,

RESIDENCE PARK SCHEME
A 1OO-ACRE TRACT on NORTH ME-
RIDIAN sTREfsTSTosnE BOUGHT.
Houses Must Conform TO a Certain
Standard of Beauty-Men inter-
ested in All This.


What has been termed an ideal commu-
nifty is about to be established just north
Of this city at the extreme end of Merid-
ian street. Last Tuesday evening a meeting
was held looking to the accomplishment of
this purpose by several interested parties
at the Denison House, at which it was de-
cided to purchase a. tract of 100 acres
bounded on the west by Illinois street, ex-
tending eastward to. Central avenue.
The tract lies. on the Broad Ripple7street
car line. and is Just north Of the road run
ming to Fairview Park
The land here has the highest elevation
OF any near the city and because of its be-
ing at the end of Meridian street has been
christened ~'Meridian Heights
Much difficulty was experienced in find
ing tract large enough to answer the pur-
pose which had not already been cut up
with streets and roads, bat it was finally
found in this tract The plan is not
speculative one, so the promoters say, but
merely the cooperation Rof a number of peo-
ple who join together TO make homes away
from the cramped-up confines Of the city.
The development of the plan is to be carried
on along original lineA 1sstead of plating
the tract into regulatiafI city lots the place
will be divided into 1094otssoe one acre each,
each lot to contain no more than one house,
which must be approved from an artistic
standpoint by an architect employed in COM
mon. The cost of residences is not to be
dictated, but they must be up to certain
standard Of beauty in order to maintain
Senerai harmony in the buildings Of the
community. -
phe landscape work win be done in COM
mon, and for this purpose an artist is to he
engaged, who will lay off the driveways
which are to be curValirear in design. He
will also supervise the planting of fruit and
shade trees, tropical plants, flowers and
vines, making the place look like onesvast
estate. A beautiful stone entrance to the
tract Will be erected at the head of Meridian
street OF artistic design and sufficient mag
n1tude to be readily seen from Monument
place At one side of the entrance will be
the gatekeeper's lodge. Wells will be
driven in order to supply an artificial lake
in the tract, which wiz cover several acres.
The community will own its own water and
light plant and will be altogether outside
of the city assessments. No saloons or dis
reputable resorts will mar the beauty and
home atmosphere of this ideal place.
The following have the work in charge:
John r. Pearson, A. p. Hendrickson, M. B.
Wilson, NJ v. NcGilliard John w. Kern,
Joseph u. Bell, j. M. Woods, George Car

success at the Adelphi Theater, London.
Heretofore most of the American dramatic
successes abroad have shown balance on
the wrong side of the books at the close of
the season. Private as well as the public
cable ,advices state that the play is playing
to reeord-breaking receipts, and. that the
advance, sale IS something, enormous. Much
speculation is INDUCED in in theatrical cir
cles as to the effect Mrs. Carriers success
may have on her future professional move
ments. 1T is quite well known that Belasco
already has a new play finished for Mrs.
Carter, and in view of the emphatic hit she
has made in London it is now generally be-
lieved that the play will have its first pro-
duction before the company returns 10
America. BelascO cabled last week to Mr..
Goodfriend, his American representative:
Tremendous success notwithstanding re-
ceipts. Play pronounced most interesting,
thrilling ever seen at Adelphi Carter favor

Fortunately. the impression we make or
our friends is sometimes of a more graft
flying quality than we fancy; at other
times, perhaps it is also of more peculiar
nature than We had dreamed. The other
day a somewhat plain girl--who has great
vivacity and mimetic ability which makes
her. attractive and always welcome in the
various circles of her acquaintance--was
heard lamenting the construction of her
own personality. 1T is just too bad she
protested. u am not envious of other girls.
but things are too unevenly distributed in
this world. / haven't any beauty-nor an
accomplishment to my name / have been

Then the prettiest girl in the room burst
out in these consoling words:
''Oh, Charlotte; don't talk like that; you
have more friends and admirers than any
grill know. Everybody likes you because
you are so nice and silly"

Tried to Catch the Professionals.

New York Press.
Eastern Parkway, one of the fine thoroughfares
much used by cyclists in the borough of Brooklyn
meets all the requirements of a training ground
for racing men, and nowadays squads of them
can be seen there during the early hours of the
forenoon hitting it up at a lively gait. One
pleasant morning last week two professionals shot
past a policeman standing at the junction Of
Bedford avenue. One rider was setting pace for
the other. AS they flashed by, the bike copper
rubbed his eyes, took another look and mutter-
ing something about scorchers started after the
flying riders -
The policeman is a pretty fast rider himself
The average scorcher looks upon him with dread.
and it is no discredit TO the bluecoat say that
he knows this, and is somewhat 'chesty'' in
consequence. That's what the scorchets saw
anyway. Well. the policeman bent over his
handlebaJs and set out after the two riders that
We're breaking the speed ordinance all to pieces
For a couple of blocks he pushed along at a gait
that would have brought an ordinary scorcher
within his grasp in short time. Looking up he
observed that the: two far off as when
he first gave chase. That made the policeman
grip his handles a little tighter. At the same
time he began to pedal faster-a fast as he
could Then he fairly flew oyer the sandpapered
roadway.
For full mile this chase went on, the pursuer
neither gaining nor losing. At the end of the
mile the winded policeman stopped to wipe the
perspiration from his brow, while the racing men
kept on apparently unconscious of having been
pursued. When n pedestrian inquired of the Of
replied that the latest improvements in bicycles
