The line around one end of a paper capacitor indicates the lead wire that's connected to the outside foil of the capacitor. This lead is typically connected to the lowest impedance side of the circuit to reduce outside interference. Some capacitors will have "outside foil" in place of the line. Electrolytics will almost always be marked "+" & "-" to show positive and negative.
