On the evening before Prince Luigi of
Savoy arrived in this City aboard one of
his uncle's warships young Italian
reached here from Denver and put up at a
humble hotel at North Beach.
This was Pietro Gori, anarchist, a man
only few years the Princes senior, but
almost as well known as Luigi of Savoy.
AT the tiLue of President Carnot's death,
the European papers rang with the name
of Gori. He had been the preceptor and
the familiar friend of Santo Caserio, the
assassin.
During the 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 his friend tool: Thou
sands attended his lectures in Milan" he
said. How many of them have slain
presidents after hearing him speak 2'
Notwithstanding this denial of Carnot's 8
murderer, Gori was exiled from SWitzer-
land, after having been previously exiled
from Italy. He came to America and has
since devoted himself 10 making a propa-
ganda of his anarchist belief
Since the arrival of the Prince and the
anarchist in this City it has been noticed
by members of the Italian colony, and
also 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 bali in an immaculate dress
suit; he. brushed elbows more than once
with the man who represents what to him
is 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
tonight, where the Prince is expected.
why does the anarchist who excreates
royalty: dog the places where it can be
foundP' This is 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
him, the Prince watched him with tinge
of well-bred curiosity.
There was nothing but a kindly interest
in the attention which Luigi of Savoy be-
slowed upon the anarchist. Apparently
he never for moment thought of those

Pietro Gori himself laughed lightly
when asked why he had come to hall
where he would be subjected to the in
dignity of meeting Prince. 81 came to
see the young ladies'" he said. "As for
royalty, pay no attention to it; but am
dancing and enjoying the evening my own
way"
Itwas the.same on Sunday. He went to
hear the music, he said, but Gori is evi-

left as soon as the quintet began. He may
not have been able to endure the music

Prince was only represented by some of
his fellow officers.

gave an account of his connection with
Santo Caserio. 1--WE were friends from

organization created solely TO sustain capi-
talists in T.se possession of what they have
no right to; in fact, government to him is
another term for wholesale robbery, op-
preston and extortion. "Santo was a
noble young man." continued the anarch-
list, impetuously.
