16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1896. THE PRINCE D THE ANARCHIST, The P}eceptor of Carmt’§ Assassin Follows Luigi of Savoy. AT THE BALL TOGETHER. Pietro Gori, Revolutionist, Ap- pears Wherever the Royal Heir Is Seen. HE TELLS OF SANTO CZESARIO. His Peaceful Mission Is .to Teach Social Evolution—Interviewed by a “Call” Reporter. On the evening before Prince Luigi of Savoy arrived in this City aboard one of his uncle’s warships 4 young Italian reached here from Denver and putup ata humble hotel at North Beach. This was Pietro Gori, anarchist, a man only a few years the Prince’s senior, but almost as well known as Luigi of Savoy. t the tirae of President Carnot’s death, the European papers rang with the name of Gori. been the preceptor and the fami riend of Santo Caserio, the assassir During tlie trial at Lyons the public prosecutor openly stated that Santo was but the tool of Gori, the brilliant young Milanese lawyer and the most noted anarchist in Italy. The prisoner at the bar denied in'open court that he was hisfriend’s tool: “Thou- sands attended his lectures in Milan,” he said. “How many of them have slain presidents -after hearing him speak?” Notwithstanding this denial of Carnot’s murderer, Gori was exiled from Switzer- land, after having been previously exiled from It He came to America and has ce devoted himself 1o making a propa- ganda of his anarchist belief. nce the arrival of the Prince and the anarchist in this City it has been noticed by members of the Italian colony, and aiso by some Americans interested in the extremes of social beliefs which the two young men represent, that when the Prince appears in public the anarchist is not far away. On Saturday night Pietro Gori was at the Italian ball in an immacuiate dress suit; he,brushed etbows more than once with the man who reoresents what to him is a vicious and execrable power, the power of royalty. At the concert on Sunday at which Luigi of Savoy was expected to appear, Gori was there; he will be at the concert to-night, where the Prince is expected. “Why does the anarchist who excreates royaltyy dog the places where it can be found?”’ This isa question that has been asked several times during the last week, The Prince goes about in a thor- oughly democratic way, without body- guard, except one or other of his fellow- officers. Apparently he has no fear of anarch- ism, for at the hall on Saturday, when Gori entered the room, he was at once in- formed of the fact by those about him. “Show me the famous anarchist,’” he said with unusual interest. When the tall dark young Italian was pointed out to bim, the Prince watched him with a tinge of well-bred curiosity. There was nothing but a kindly interest 4n the attention which Luigi of Savoy be- stowed upon the anarchist. Apparently he never for a moment thought of those dark words of the Public Prosecutor at Lyons when France was weéping for her President. Pietro Gori himself laughed lightly when asked why he had come to a hall where he would be subjected to the in- dignity of meeting a Prince. *“I came to see the voung ladies,”” he said. ‘“As for royalty, I pay no attention to it; but I am dancing and enjoying the evening my own way.” It was the.same on Sunday. He went to hear the music, he said, but Gori is evi- dently not a stoic in things musical, for he left as soon as the quintet began. He may not have been able to endure the music. Jt may have been that he found that the Prince was only represented by some of his fellow-officers. Gori, when seen last night, willingly gave an account of his connection with Banto Caserio. ‘“We were Iriends' from the time he was 18,” he said, *‘and a more honest, industrious young man I never met. Yes, he killed Carnot, but they goaded him to it with persecution. Santo trod the road of the cross in suffering, and when he was maddened at last he struck.” By ‘‘they,” Pietio Gori did not mean Carnot and his myrmidons, but the French and Italian Goyernments in gen- eral. He looks upon all government as an organizati.n created solely to sustain capi- talists in *.: possession of what they have no right to; in fact, government to him is another term for wholesale robbery, op- pression and extortion. “Santo was a noble young man,”” continued the anarch- ist, impetuously. “He was a baker in Milan, earning his bread by the sweat of his brow. Oneday they found him distributing manifestos among the soldiers and led him off to prison. “‘Santo Caserio had not composed those B ———— manifestos; they were the anonymous proclamations of theanarchist party,and what did they contain?—nothing but the simvlest principles of humanitarianism. If your officers ordered you to fire ona 1stof May riot, should you obey, if you saw your father or'brother in the crowd? No! the voice of nature forbids it.” “It was for disseminating teachings such as these that Santo was cast into prison; I was his lawyer and defended him both at his first trial and before the Court of Appeals. He was sentenced to eleven months in pfison, and when they let him out after seven months, on ticket of leave, 1 found out that they intended to force him to become a soldier, and intended to put him in a regiment where he would be subjected to military punishment for baving made the anarchist propaganda. “I advised him to escape abroad, and he crossed the frontier and went to Lugano, in Switzerland. The first thing he did there was to organize a strike among the bakers, who were oppressed by their em- ployers, being forced to work all night. The strikers triumphed under Santo's leadership, but the employers boycotted him and he was forced to withdraw to Geneva, “Ah!” exclaimed Signor Gori, inter- rupting himself to make a reflection, ‘‘the word Mafia is that of the employers. We are cannibals in the present day, whatever people may say to the contrary. We de- vour one another, with etiquette perbaps, but none the less surely and Governments make it possible, for they are always on the side of the employers who devour and against the poor, who are devoured. “It was so with poor Santo; the police hounded him. In Genoa he found work and the officers said to his employers, ‘This is & dangerous anarchist, do not keep him,” and he was dismissed though he was a faithful workman. He crossed the frontier into France and found work at Cette, and the Italian Consul told the police to hound him as an anacchist, “Qur Italian Consuls are police agents. [ said so to the face of our Coposul in Lon- don. “Denied work at Cette, Santo Caserio went to Lyons, again found work and had it taken from him at the ivstigation of the police. I tell you he had a road of thorns in tryine to keep body and soul together and keep work in the face of his persecu- tors, but when his employers heard he was a dangerous anarchist, they always let him go. “Santo returned to Cette to make one more trial, for i$ was work or starvation. He got a place and kept it nearly a week, then his master told him to go. ‘Why? heasked. ‘The police advise it,’ replied the master-baker, and he paid Santo his wages up to that day. “People have talked of a plot! If there had been any plot he would have had money; as it was, his wages bought him a railway ticket to ome station short of Lyons; he had no money left, and walked the rest of the distance. Maddened, pen- niless and hungry, he struck at what seemed to him: the type of the Govern- ment that had been persecuting him—the President!” “Poor Carnot,” suggested a listener. “As well say poor Valliant!” retorted Pietro Gori. ‘*Valliant threw a bomb- shell in the French Senate that could not have killed any one because they were going to frame stupid ferocious laws against French anarchists. “‘They killed him for it, but what was his death but legalized lynching? The present state of society is cannibalism, and the generation that comes after us will be more surprised at our stupidity than at our wickedness in submitting to such a state of things."” In speaking of Santo’s death Pietro Gori said reflectively: ‘“When a man forno per- sonal interest plays with the guillotine, one cannot resist feeling that he has the strength of his principles. The middle and upper classes judge anarchy by the acts of certain individuals, but it is all a matter of temperament. “Santo would strike at the despotism of governments in one way, I in another. At the trial the Advocate Dubreuil said I had been the preceptor, he the pupil, and that being the moral instigator I was morally responsible. ‘‘Santo rose in court and said: ‘I forbid you to atteck my friend. Gori does not instigate his followers to kill. Of all the thousands that hear his lectures who but T has killed a President?’ ” Pietro Gori says his method is not to kill rulers, but to convert the working people to his belief in anarchy, then the revolu- tion will come, a revolution which will bring about a union of laborers without masters or rulers. “‘It is opportunity that makes the thief,” he said, quoting a Tuscan peasant. ‘‘Some- times our people have been goaded to mad- ness and have had the opportunity, but propaganda isa more effective arm against capital than bombshells or kaives.” The lecture which Signor Gori gavea few days ago in Apollo Hall charmed nearly every one who heard it. Contrary to expectations, the noted anarchist did not preach red-handed anarchy, but the broadest kind of humanitarianism. It is stated that in his future lectures in this City he will confine himself to the same platiorm. He is also rehearsing a play, “The First of May,” which he has writ- ten himself as an object lesson in anarch- ism - of the milder type. In fact, Gori promises only to teach anarchism of the *‘grateful and comforting” variety in this City. . He has many friends in the colony who scorn the imputation that his visits to public places where the Prince is to be seen spring from any ill feeling to royalty. These gentlemen say he is a great talker, but he has never injured a creature except with words. THE PROFIT GONE. Gunnison Says ¢ The Call’’ Has Spotled a Bunko Game. A. R. Gunnison, the well-known fire- insurance man, recently had a brief ex- perience with the young bunko man who has for the past week been making so much trouble for George Cumming Jr. and other university graduates. “The young fellow called at my house, v32 Twinty-first street,” said Mr. Gunni- son, *‘and introduced himself as a nephew of Rev. Dr. J. G. Fiske. He said he had a letter for my son. When I replied that my son was absent my visitor asked me to read the letter, and I did so. The letter purported to have been written by a friend of my son who attended college with him, and recommended the bearer very highly. “‘Then 2ame an application for financial assistance, but the whole matter had a fishy look and I didn’t respond. I sus- pected the young man on account of his manner in approaching the question of monetary accommodation. It had too much of the professional beat in it. ‘*After reading the account in THE CarLy of how Mr. Cumming and others had been approached I compared my son’s letter with these and found that they were all in the same handwriting. The youthful con- fidence operator seems to have worded his letters very much the same, the only change being in the name of his alleged uncle. Sometimes it is written Fisher and sometimes Fiske. But that makes no difference now, for I think THE CALL has spoiled his little game.” —— el Russia already ranks as sixth among the wine-producing countries of the world. A CARNIVAL OF HARMONY At the Second Piano Recital of the Great Piano Virtuoso. CROWDS GREET THE MAESTRO. Two Original Compositions and Five Chopin Numbers Were on the Programme. A crowded house, in whick ladies greativ preponderated, greeted Pader- ewski &t yesterdsy afternoon’s concert. The terrors of a citation to appear before the tribunal of a Justice of the Peace to attest his representative’s financial stand- ing did not seem to disturb the great pianist’s equanimity. He made his en- tries and his exits as though utterly ob- livious of things mundane, and played like one inspired. = His first number was Beethoven’s sonata in F minor, Op. 57. The introduction and andante gave the effect of a soft hu- man voice carrying the melody in sub- dued tones to a piano accompaniment. The beauty of this portion of the work was in part marred by an epidemic of coughing which was most exasperating to those who had come to hear something of a higher order. During the variations and the brilliant finale, however, the larynxes ceased from troubling and the virtuoso-retired amid much applause. Schumann’s dreamy, dainty reverie, “Les Papillons,”’ Op. 2, with its heavenly harmonies so strangely yet so beautifully interwoven, was the next number and was followed by Schubert and Liszt's serenade, ‘‘Hark, Hark, the Lark,’ and “The Erl- king,” the former of which was repeated n response to an insistent recall. The contrast between the two. selections was vividly brought out and gave the dis- tinguished artist an opportunity to dis- play the marvelous facility with which he can pass from one style of music to an- other of entirely different character, ren- dering each with equal perfection. Asan encore he played Schumann’s ‘“Nach- stueck’” with an expression which could be felt, but hardly expressed in words. Four Chopin number were on the pro- gramme, but the audience called for more and were rewarded by a most delightful rendering of the ‘Pianissimo Prelude.” The Nocturne in D flat, Op. 27, No. 2, the etudes in A flat, Op. 25, No. 1, and in A minor, Op. 25, No. 11, were rendeyed as they have never been before in the pres- ence of 12 San Francisco audience, while the Polonnaise in A flat, Op. 53, was simply perfection in its way. The gem of the Chonin_selections was, however, the ma. zourka in B flat'minor, Op. 24, No. 4. The fire, passion and fury with which the in- imitable composition was rendered brought forth a burst of rapturous ap- plause. : ‘fwo of Paderewski’s own compositions were received with many manifestations of delight. His ‘‘Cracovienne Fantas- tique,” Op. 14, No. 6, is & weird composi- tion, abounding in technical difficulties and having an individuality which renders it eminently unique. It was followed by & duinty melody, also from his Op. 14, which was rendered with a peculiar tenderness that made 1t charming, though far less pretentious in style than its pre- decessor. Liszt’s “Rhapsodie Hongroise No. 10,” a composition rarely attempted by pianists on account of its exacting tecanical re- quirements, was next given with the ut- most ease and smoothness, after which the recital closed with a brilliant render- ing of Rubinstein’s famous ‘‘Valse Caprice.” Starsin the galaxies of music and society shone from various portions of the house. Mrs. Osgood Hooker and the Misses Goad were occupants of one of the boxes. Mrs. Willis, Miss India Willisard friends were seen in another. Miss Hobart and the Misses Williams occupied a box at the left of the stage, and opposite them were Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Whitney, Mr. Bonne and others. Mrs, Warfield and a party, consisting of Mrs. Paxton, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Croker and Emerson Warfield, also enjoyed the music from seats in one of the lower boxes. Princess Poniatowski and Mrs. Will Crocker were seen in the body of the house, as were John Parrott and family, Gustave Sutro'and the Misses Sutro, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Leyentritt, Mrs. Rosenstock and Master Leventritt, Mrs. W. P. Fuller, Mrs. G. K. Fitch, Miss Fitch, Mr. and Mrs. Wal- liam Ackers, Miss Goodman, Ashton Stevens, Miss Florence Smart, H. S.

They Rob and Threaten to Shoot Hder if She Informed Against Them. Mrs. 0. J. Marble, who has a milk ranch near the Golden City House on the San Bruno road, had an experience last night with two footpads that will last her for a lifetime. She had been visiting friends in the City, and was driving home in her buggy be- tween 8 and 9 o’clock. As she neared Fifteenth avenue two young men stepped in front of her horse and ordered her to ‘“‘pull up.” Before she could do so one of them seized the horse by the bridle and brought it up with a sharp turn. The other stepped up to the now thor- oughly frightened woman, and, pointing a revolver at her head, said: "‘Hand out all the money you have in your pocket.” She nearly fainted when she saw the revolver, .and imglored the footpad not to shoot. ‘“Well, hurry up and give usyour money," NEW TO-DAY-DRY GOODS.

After the robbers had disappeared she recovered from her scare, and drove back until she met'a policeman and told him that she had been robbed, and then she drove home. % She said that both footpads were young men, but in the darkness she was unable to obtain anything like a good description of them. Both Captain Gillin and Lieutenant Burke were asked last night if the two footpads nad been arrested, but they pro- fessed utter ignorance of the affair. On being pressed they would neither affirm nor deny it. It was learned from another source that men were specially detailed to search for the footpads. — . POLICEMEN AS CARPENTERS. A Protest to the Supervisors Against Their Being So Employed. The Carpenters’ unions of this City, represented by their district council, have decided to raise a big protest against the employment of policemen as carpenters in repairing the several police stations, Ever since there has been a police force in this City patrolmen have been taken off their beats to repair lockers, make and mend benches and do other work for which carpenters should be employed. Of late years one patrolman has been kept constantly employed in this manner, and at times several have been called off the streets to manipulate the plane and ham- mer. At present besides the regular police carpenter, George Russell, it is said that several officers are carpentering, partic- ularly in fitting up the Harbor police tion. Several of the members of the Dis- trict Council had their attention called to this, and a committee was appointed to look into the matter. Committeeman Mec- Cartney called upon the Chief and the Police Commissioners and was informed that the police stations are in constant need of repairs. However, they said the Supervisors had never appropriated any money for the payment_of a regular car- penter, so the work had to be done by a police officer. At the meeting last evening the com- mittee was instructed to prepare and pre- sent to the Supervisors a petition that sufficient money be set aside for the pay- ment of a journeyman carpenter to pre- form this kind of work in the police sth- tions. In the petition attention will be called to the fact that the City is none too well patroiled by police and even more officers should " be appointed. Every policeman should be on duty protecting lives and property and not manipulating a jackplane and hanging doors. Atten- tion is called to the fact that there are not afew competent carpenters out of work who should have the opportunity of earn- ing a living. Carpenters will work for §6a day or $90 a month. The same work cost the City over $102 a month when it is done by a policeman, ——————— Charged With Embezzlement. William Ogstor, collector for' the Co-opera- tive Publishing Company, was arrested yester- dayona warrant charging him with felony embezzlement. The complaining witness is Raymond Duncan, president of the company, who alleges that Ogston on November 14 col- lected a bill of $59 50 from & customer and appropriated the amount to his own uses and purposes. —————— All Agree.

BRANCH STORES EVERYWHERE, COMPANY B 1L OBEY And Move All State Property to the Page-Street Armory. Tenth and Market Street Armory Preferred—The City Guard Club. The fact that the Nationals, Com panies Cand G, are allowed to remain in their building on Ellis street is the subject of much discussion among National Guards- men who have been recently shifted from one place to another, many asking: “If they move us, why don’t they move C and G?” The only answer they get to this question is: “They have too much pull.” Rumors to the effect that in the event of orders being issued from brigade head- quarters for Company B, City Guard, First Regiment of Infantry, of this City, to move their headquarters from their pres- ent location atTenth and Market streets they would not be obeyed are erroneous. Orders having been issued and the company will move and will occupy the rooms for- merly used by the Signal Corps in the old Second Regiment Armory at Page and Gough streeis. The present quarters of the company are among the most comfortable and luxuri- ous clubrooms in the City, and the mem- bers regret exceedingly to leave them. The only companies now stationed at the old First Regiment Armory, on Market and Tenth streets, are D, L and B, com- manded respectively by Captains Marshall, Eggert and Filmer. hen Company B moved to Market and Tenth streets, in 1888, the sum of $2000 was contributed by members and ex-mem- bers to furnish the rooms. B Company (the old City Guard) was organized in April, 1854, and many of the most promi- nent men of San Francisco have been iden- tified with the organization. The roll of honorary member's embraces the names of 1200 citizens, many of whom are yet living and still retain their friendship for the or- gamzation. Among National Guard offi- cers who have commanded this company may be mentioned General Walter Turn- bull, General J. H. Dickinson, Colonel George W. Granniss, Colonel Burdick, Colonel Little and Major Cook. ‘When the members of the company as- certained that the edict had gone forth that they should move to the Page-street armory, and the Nationals be permitted to remain on Ellis street, there was a feel- ing that unjust discrimination had been made in favor of the Nationals. Members of Company B, however, resolved to obey the order with their usual activity, but they also decided to deed all their prop- erty, except that belonging to the State, to the City Guard Club. The company will therefore transfer to Page street all the arms, clothing, equipment and mu- nitions which belong to the State, but will transfer company helossingm Euchas carpets, piano, pictures and ornaments, to a clubhouse which will be established in that vicinity. 5 The officers of the City Guard Club are: President, E. C. Lundquist; vice-presi- dent, Dr. W. H. Sieberst; treasurer, W. H. Osmnn; secretary, W. J. kayu; trustees— 0. 8. firigga, . J. O'Brien and Joseph Fetz. Plans and specifications have been sent to headquarters at Sacramento to make the old First Regiment Armory, at Tenth and Market streets, the regular armory for the new regiment, Timothy Hopkins, the owner of thie building, having agreed to make all the changes necessary to house ' twelve companies. | | Thelargest piece of OQOD tobacco ever sold foriocents (11 - 7 HE THAT WORKS EASILY WORKS SUC- CESSFULLY.” ’TIS VERY EASY TO CLEAN HOUSE WITH SAPOLIO | Weak Men andWomen HOULD USE DAMIAN A BITTERS, THE great Mexican Remedy; gives Health and Strength to the Sexual Organs.
