Mrs. More like all her sisters, has
been well trained in music. and though
she is not so proficient nor such al
enthusiast as her sister, she is good
performer and knows music very thor
ougnly One of the innovations OF the
White House under the present regime
is the baby grand piano in the blue
room where Mrs. Taft and her sister
practice and have little impromptu con-
certs The blue room, hitherto the
throne room, and the most formal and
least homelike of the suite has undergone
a complete transformation. The piano
which now adorns ii has circled the
globe with the mistress of the White
House. and came originally from her lit
tie home in Cincinnati. 1t looks almost
homogeneous in its state surroundings.

Music which shows Mrs. Taft's and
Mrs More's preference, like Griegs
Bach's, Scaratti's. is frequently TO be
seen on the piano ard about the room,
and there are visible signs that life ra-
dates from the hearthstune and not from

Her rooms are filed with exquisite blooms

rearranging those in the White House

Mrs. More, like all Of her sisters. visited
the White House frequently during the
Hayes administration. Judge Heron. her
father. had been the law par,ner of Ruth
erford Il. Hayes, and more than an or
binary bond of affection united the fanli
lies. The oldest daughter of Judge Her
ron. now Mrs. George Loughlin of Pitts

Webb Heron. All of Judge. Herron's
daughters were invited to suend some

is freer to spend her time with Mrs Tart

Not great DEAL said the technical

They are being turned out at the rate OF
several hundred per day. Mr.. Rupert

the quality being the same. The Han
Yang Steel Works has furnished ali the
iron for the Acknowledging trunk line,
which is over seven hundred and fifty
miles long. 1t supplied the rails for the
railway from Marking to Shanghai. and
ii is under contract to furnish those for
the road now building from Kowloon. the
port opposite Hongkons, 10 Canton. There
is no doubt but that the Chinese can
make their own railroad materials and
Mr.. Rupert tells me that they are now
making steel rails and all sorts of struc-
tural steel at profit.
During my walk through the rolling mill
| asked NJ. Rupert whether he ever
expected to export steel 10 the America n
market. lie replied
Mos; certainly not. At least not dur
inS the present genera ton. We have al
ready shipped considerable pig iron 70
San Francisco and to Japan. and we
have sent one shipment to New York by
the Suez canal and sold it just to show
that we could do and make money.
As for the present and for years to come,
can do better by supplying the Chi
neSa demand. We have now III Nand
enough orders 10 keep lis busy until the
end of 1910. and We are receiving more
every day. Indeed, it will be a long time
before China can keen pace with her own
needs in such materials. We are build
ing new furnaces rapidly as We can.
and already increasing our capacity.
We have scheme OF expansion which
viii keep Us busy for five years to come.
and when that is done We shall be turning
out l,oUn tons Of steel per day. Even
then we shall have more than can do
to supply our own wants"
What kinds OF steel are You making.
We make sheets, plates, angles. beams
and bar steel as we'll all sorts OF
structural steel and steel rails. We make
frogs. spikes, nuts and bolts. and our
rails run from fifty to a hundred pounds
the yard All this is by the Siemens-
Martin process. and that SO well made
that it will stand the tests of the British
LioydS. the German LloydS and the Brit
iSt board of trade. Indeed. are manu-
facturiE@s as coed steel a. can be made
anywhere.
