front is submerged.
Several schooners that were tied up
at Platt street wharf broke from their

rades to have carriages on the streets,
and that in an effort to avoid acci-
dents, all buggies and carriages must

TEE 10000 ARE HERE
And Tomorrow 10000 More People
Are Coming.

Tt is rather hard to estimate the num-
Der of visitors in this city, but the at
tendance at the Fall Festival and State
Reunion can now safely be placed at
nearly 10000.
People are still pouring into Topeka
by the hundreds. The regular trains
with extra coaches attached are all
crowded as well as the special trains.
All points in the state are contributing
to the attendance.
It is estimated by the agents of the
different railroads running into Topeka
that between 10000 and 5000 people
We're carried into this city today. This
number added to the 10000 who had
arrived up to last night makes the at
tendance already in the neighborhood
of 10000. And the passenger agents say
that tomorrow will be the biggest day
of the week as far as passenger traffic
is concerned

Then Moves Eastward

the weather bureau today said: THE
West Indian storm has moved west of
north and is central this morning over
northern Lake Huron, where the ba-
rometer is reduced to sea level, standing
at about 1892 inches. The westward
movement of the storm has been at
tended by destructive easterly gales
along the Atlantic coast. over the
lake region the nOrthward advance OF
this storm has been attended by heavy
rain and high winds, the highest We
locity being 50 miles. from the south
west, being noted at Buffalo.

nue. from Quincy to Jackson must be
kept clear. No one will be allowed to
drive UP and stand facing Kansas ave-
nue. during the parades. This is done
for the purpose of giving the pedes-
trians a chance. The pedestrians out
number those in carriages probably
one hundred to one and they are the
visitors who are our guests. Last night
there were many narrow escapes from
injury on account of the vehicles.
Chief Gardiner has ordered all his men,
both regulars and specials to clear the

Edison's fellow wizard, Nikola Tes-
la of New York, is said by the Elec-
trical Review to have produced an
electric light of wonderful brilliancy,
by means of vacuum tubes which arc
not in mechanical contact with the
electric source. That is to say, Mr..
Tesla sits between the tubes and the
exciting coil, and the light glows in
the tubes without interruption. His
device produces about 100 millions OF
electrical vibrations in q second, ac-
cording to his calculations, thereby
making an exceedingly brilliant light.

She arose when the peoples of Europe,

France and England united under the
sceptre OF Henri w., and broke the

with apple jelly and n ineringue Of tho
white OF three oggs, three tablespoon
fuls Of sugar and the juice Of quarter
OF lemon, the whole baked in n
crust. An apple meringue is not
baked in n crust. To make IL, select
six mcdium-sized rather tart apples;
core and peel them and put them in
porcelain-lined saucepan with half q
cup OF cold water and half n cup
OF sugar. Cover the apples closely,
turn them after they have
cooked three minutes, and baste
them thoroughly. Repeat this process
in three minutes more. When tho,
applesare tender, but before they break
apart, tako them up very carefully
with large spoon, so as to keep them
whole. The syrup on them will be
nearly all absorbed; pour tho little
that remains over them. 1t should
not bo over n quarter OF cupful.
II il is more, reduce it. When tho
apples are cold fill tho cores with jelly
and pour little melted jelly over each
one to glaze it. Apricot and currant
jolly are both excellent, but nothing
is better than jelly made OF pint OF

of water until tender. IL will take
about half mn hour. The juice is then
pressed out Of tho pulp, measured
and sugar added in proportion OF a
pint to pound. Add four strips an
inch long of the yellow peel of
lemon. Reduce the liquid until
jelly is formed. It is better TO
prepare the apples and glaze them and
fill them with jelly the day before they
are served. They should be put on n
thick plate. Half an hour before SER
wing beat to stiff froth the whites oi
three eggs, three tablespoonfuls OF
powdered sugar, and the juice of half
o lemon. Pour the meringue over the
apples on the plate, drawing it down
to the edge, and allow little to glaze
the edge. Dredge it thickly with
powdered sugar and let the plate on
thick block OF wood in n slow oven. In
twenty minutes tho meringue will be a
very delicate brown. Serve the dish
at once. The block of wood protects
the apples from the heat, SO that the
| Jelly in them does not melt, but the
apples remain in glace. The tart ap-
pies enclosed in this sugary meringue
are very nice. Boston Cnltiyator.
