Odd Wedding Customs.

In Switzerland the bride or her wedding
day will permit no one, not even her par
ents, to kiss her upon the lips. In many
of the provinces the cook pours hot water
over the threshold after the bridal couple
have gone in order to keep 1t warm for
another bride. A favorite wedding day
in Scotland Is Dec. 81, so that the young
couple can leave their old life with the
old year and begin their married life with
the new one, surely a pretty idea. The
Italians permit no wedding gifts that are
sharp or pointed, from which practice
manate our superstition that the gift
of a knife sewers friendship. One of the
most beautiful of all marriage customs is
that of the bride Immediately after the
ceremony flinging her bouquet among her
maiden friends. She who catches 1t is
supposed to be the next bride.

ATURDAY
THE PROFITS OF THE STEEL TRUST.

In a proceeding for an injunction to pre-
vent the great steel trust from issuing
additional bonds to the amount of $780,
900, 600, President Charles Schwab, in be-
half of the corporation, has testified that
its earnings in the fifteen months of its
sexistence have been in excess of 10 per
cent of the entire capital stock.
The king of the trusts has authorized
capital stock to the amount of 81, 100, co.
900, and has already issued bonds to the
amount of 1904, 900, 900. making a total cap
italization of 81. 4O4. OOO, 900. This vast to-
tai is very largely water, merely imitation,
representing no actual property or tang
ible asset originally owned or since ac-
uuirea nyy the corporation. The capitali-
cation is confesedly not based on Visible
property but on earning capacity. In
other words, it does not represent actual
value but the ability of the trust to pay
dividends on stock and interest on bonds.
This is another way of expressing it's
ipower to cinch the public by controlling
the home market, putting up prices and
forcing it's small-fry competitors to con-
form to it's schedules.
If the trust has earned more than 10
per cent on it's capital stock, it has plum
dered the people to the extent of at least
8 per cent on 81, 100, 900, 600. assuming that
Schwab testified to net earnings. And 5
per cent on that amount is ST., 900, 0OO, a
large sum to be extorted from the pock-
cts of the people in order that the trust
may flourish like a green bay tree and
put forth new leaves in the shape of
bonds for confiding investors to gather.
This mammoth trust is made up of a
numbe of great corporations, which were
practically merged in the American Steel
and assuming control of their properties.
1t is consolidation of ownership and not
a combination of independent concerns.
though the original constituent corpora
lions still nave a legal existence. The to-
tai actual value of the properties thus
consolidated was less han $500, 900, 900.
One of the great plants embraced by
the trust was that of Andrew Carnegie,
who sold out on his own terms, taking
his pay in bonds to an amount about
twice the market value of his property.
The trust simply had to have it. Car
negie can allord to be generous to the
American people, as about one-half his
income from the bonds is wrung from
them in the form Of extortionate prices
on steel and it's products. such as tin
plate and wire nails. Sacramento Bee.
