KARL FLE1scHMANN's CAKES

THIS is the story of some of the greatest
: cakes ever built in this country of ours.
Karl FleiSchmann IS in the land OF the
living, very vigorous despite his advanced
age. Knowing that Fleischmann long ago
held the record for big cake making, the
narrator sought and found him in Alexan-
dria, Virginia. and he was not avcrse to
| telling the story. He said:
This talk about the wedding cake in
New York not long ago being the biggest
| wedding cake that was ever made in this
country is all false. That New York cake
was four feet high. The cake that made
for the wedding of Miss Nellie Grant, when
she was married to Captain Algernon Fred
eric Sartoris in the White House, May p.
1874, was five feet high; and the cake that
made subsequently for Miss Sherman was
| seven feet high.
"Therc was something like jealousy of the
Grants in the family of General Sherman
When Miss Sherman was about to be mar
ried Mrs Sherman sent for me and asked
me if could not make bigger cake than
had made for the White House wedding, and
replied this way:
AIRS Sherman, that White House cake
cost three hundred and fifty dollars. For
five hundred dollars | can make bigger
and taller cake, if you want it.
"She gave me the order, and | produced
the cake, which was unquestionably the
biggest wedding cake ever made in America,
and doubt if there ever was such a cake
in all the world
a often recall my experience in the
White House kitchen, and laugh over it,
continued this retired caterer, once famous
in the national Capital as without a rival.
"You know had not been in this country
very long, and the President was like an

the wedding cake and wedding feast for
Miss Nellie Grant, | was surprised to see
the President walk into the White House
kitchen and saunter around, smoking a big
black cigar. Now, you must know that
edible delicacies are easily ruined by tobacco
smoke, and | was almost crazy. | did not
know whether could speak to the President
any more than could tell my Emperor not to
smoke; but finally said to myself, 'Fleisch-
mann, you must speak up, or your work will
be ruined! So | spoke up and said:
"'Mr. President, beg your pardon, but,
while am glad to have you look on at my
and the wedding feast be failure, unless
you will put away that strong cigar
"Did he fly off in rage and cuss me? No,
to my surprise he looked at me quietly for
moment, and then said, 'Fleischmann,
you are right. l am the boss upstairs, and
you are the boss downstairs. and III go
away Immediately And he went out.
"After the wedding ceremonies and the
feast were all over, Miss Nellie came to me
in the kitchen and thanked me. before she
started off on her wedding tour. She was
dear little angel, and am still proud that l
served her by making that cake and the
other goodies she and her guests enjoyed"
Mrs. Sartoris' second marriage, this time
to Frank H. Jones, formerly first assistant
Postmaster General, was celebrated July of
this year, the anniversary of her birth

At the orpbeur,.

The bill at the orpheum is out Of
the ordinary. The headline attrac-
ton is the Five Merkles, the European
acrobats, and they have one of the
classiest turns ever put on the local
stage. Many of their stunts are new
and they were literally applauded by
the two audiences yesterday.
Ward and Manning, in their har-
mony singing and dancing are very
pleasing, and their turn was enthusi-
astically encored.
Ruth Chandler, in her stunt The
Unhappy Maid, is a scream from start
to finish, n she succeeded in con-
vulsing the audiences with laughter.
The Two Bees, in their comedy play
let The Changeable Wife. have a very
pleasing sketch, which made good in
a decided manner yesterday.
me moving pictures were superior
to those of the last few weeks taking il
as a whole the bill was worth the
money, and then some. The Character
OF the bills being presented at Il
popular playhouse are equal to those
shown in the larger houses of the twin
cities, and U people can nearly al
ways be assured of pleasant evenings
entertainment at the Orpheum.

OF PIONEER PRESS SEES SCRAP
BETWEEN FARGO AND GRAND
FORKS COMMERCIAL CLUBS
OVER MEMBERSHIP.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press has the
following under a Grand Forks date
line:
Fargo and Grand Forks Commercial
clubs appear to be on the verge of d
new membership war as a result OF
the decision of the Fargo club officials
to wage another campaign for more
members. This decision on the part
of the Fargo club results from the fact
that the Grand Forks club recently
took the lead in the number OF mem
bers in the state.
Secretary Slime of the Fargo club
will lay his plans Immediately for the
new campaign, and he will appeal to
Fargo civic pride in seeking to bring
about a greater membership than has
been ecured in Grand Forks, where
TAB are enrolled in the club.
The Fargo Commercial club and the
Town Criers club, also of Fargo, are al
the present time laying plans for the
entertainment of the North Dakota
Press association which will hold forth
there in January.

At THE farm SCHOOL

| Notwithstanding the cold wave
which has swept over this sector
during the last two days, the attend
ance at the farm school now being
conducved in the Commercial club
rooms. has steadily increased and
more interest Is being shown in the
! work.
The meeting today was one of the
best thus far recorded and more peo
pie are paying strict attention to the
matter under discussion. The in.
instructors are becoming acquainted
with a number of the people and the
general discussion is waxing more
interesting each day. Many of the
young men in attendance at the meet.
ing are attending this sort of insti.
tute or school for the first time in
their lives. They are trying to as.
simulate all the matter that is given
to them in the most careful manner
and many Of the students are taking
notes for future reference.
An air Of close and attentive study
prevades the hall wherein the stud.
ents and Instructors are assembled,
and much good is anticipated from
these lectures and lessons.
The grand finale will come with
the meeting of the State Dairymen's
Association which will be held here
the Is and 16 Of this month. Here
will be. an opportunity for the stud
ents and assembled dairymen to see
the practical workings of the farious
upto-date paraphernalia necessary to
properly find the real value of the
dairy cow and for testing and caring
for the milk.
Those in charge Of the local ar
rangements have already secured a
couple Of types Of animal and these
will be presented at the meeting and
practical demonstrations made right
at the convention.
An effort is thus being made to
get away from the abstract as much
as possible and to give the young men
as well as tho dairymen, a practical
and concrete illustration Of the work.
