PRICE OF RIGHT OF WAY
NEW RAILROAD WANTS PARK
BOARD TO BE LENIENT.
twenty-five Thousand Dollars Too
Much, the Company Thinks-Board
Will Act To-day.

1t is understood that officials of the In
dianapolis, Logansport & Chicago Railroad
Company expect the Board of Park Com
missioners to reduce the amount of COM
pensation the railroad has been asked for
right of way through Riverside Park.
Several weeks ago the Park Board made
a proposition to the road asking 5000 for
the right of way.
Officials of the railroad think $4,000 is
too much for the right of way, and they
are looking for the Park Board to reduce
the proposition very materially. it is said.
bers of the Park Board that it is to be
treated very fairly In this matter. and it is
understood that the officials feel that they
will have little difficulty in arriving at a
satisfactory agreement as to the amount of
compensation for the right of way.
Quincy A. Myers, of Logansport, secre-
tary of the road, is expected to be in In
dianapolis to-day to attend the meeting of
the Park Board. Charles Z. Coffin, presi-
dent Of the Park Board, said yesterday
ter this morning with representatives OF
the road.
Asked last evening whether there Is any
possibility of the Park Board accepting
less than $4,000 for the right of way
through Riverside Park Mr.. Coffin said this
the members of the board officially and
formally. He said that the matter will not
likely be settled by to-days conference
with the officials Of the railroad company.

ENGLISH KNOW A JOKE
BOOTH HARRINGTON DEFENDS
QUALITY OF THEIR HUMOR.
irresponsible photographic RESPONSE
BILE for American Idea that They Are
SIOw-The Stage Discussed.

Booth Harrington believes that Americans
have a mistaken idea of the quality of
English humor. In an article in the Nov
q issue of Harpers Weekly, entitled Views
of the Stage and Players he holds that
the conviction OF many Americans that
Englishmen have no sense of humor is
based on the assertion made many years
ago by an irresponsible paragraphist. The
idea was accepted seriously, fed by the
habit of impervious countenance exhibited
by our English visitors and by Punch's
singular practice of explaining puns in
parentheses." For those who have been
reared in this creed, he says, 1.-The prevail
ing humor of the London streets, from the
fanciful Difference of retail clerks to the
diabolical subtleties of the cabmen, must
suffer the explanation that London is the
chief city Of Ireland. And the Lon
don stage could but strike home with
series of pleasant shocks; for surely it af-
fords more surprises of humor than any
other In the world"
Tarkington's views of the stage are ex-
pressed in the same article as follows:
"If there is an obvious distinction be-
tween the better English companies and the
better American it is that usually the for
mer exhibit a greater general excellence
of caste.
perhaps that is not so much the fault
of our actors as of a system we have
come to labor under. Many of our stars
find the footing insecure few steps in any
direction from the centre. The brief
scenes (Which grow shorter and shorter)
in which the star does not appear, are
hurried over inconsequently; the great one
is also very often given all the good lines
the sense of the play being sometimes mu-
tilated for that purpose-and when he
isn't given them, he takes them.
Americans seem TO me to have a more
vehement interest in the personality of the
player; when they go TO see play in which
Miss Marlowe appears they want to see
the stage all the time; they want TO hear
her voice; 1T is she they are interested in
muchs more than in the character she is
presenting. Their interest in the latter is
mainly in seeing what Miss Marlowe does
with the character, not in what the charac-
ter will prove itself to be.
II believe the most ardent American
patriot might be brought to suspect that
England possesses more actors of distin-
guished merit than we have at home, but
however that may be, our appreciation of
| fine English acting is not tempered by our
loss in such useless comparisons, as the
| happily protracted visits of many English
| companies in the United States must tes-
| tify.''

SENSATIONAL DIVORCE SUIT.
Mrs. Nagel Wants Separation and
$4,000 AIimony.

A. divorce case full of sensations was
tried before Judge Carter in the Superior
Court yesterday. Mrs. Anna Nagel, aged
forty-six. sought TO obtain a divorce and
$4,000 alinony from her husband, August
Nagel. who is over seventy years of age.
Her husband was willing that a divorce
should be granted. but ne fought to keep
from paying alimony.
Mrs. Nagel told the court that she was
married to Nagel Dec. %. 1897 and lived
with him until the 10th OF last September.
She said her husband compelled her to
leave home by calling her names and
throwing bucket OF water on her which
spoiled her clothes Mrs Nagel claimed
that her husband was worth more than
$4,000 in personal property and real estate
in this city.
Mr.. Nagel filed cross-complaint against
his wife in which he charged she was CRUEL
and inhuman in her treatment OF him,
cursing him ana calling him "a seventy
five-year-old brute" He further asserted
that his wife had told him that she OILY
married him for his money. Nagel charged
that his wife struck him with her fist on
June z, 1903, and attempted 10 stab him
with a butcher knife. He prevented her
from doing this by taking the knife away
and In so doing two Of his fingers were
badly cut Nagel said that on the day OF
their separation his wife attacked him
with shovel. The case will be concluded
TODAY.
