THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. SATURDAY, .TI NR 23, 1!W0. 8 YAARAB'S. spirit butts INTO THE GREAT BEYOND Drum Corps Goat Which Made Famous Dies of Acute Tincanitis. Atlanta fasrab Is dead. Taarab. the Great, line reseed to hi* •ward. The diagnosis of Fireman W. H. Ivey, Yaarab'a special friend and physician, showed that the famous mascot of ( the Atlanta Fire Department, succumbed to an attack of tincanitis, superinduc ed by the shock caused by Harley's winning Friday's baseball game from Little Rock. .Saturday morning Taarab noted his last alarm, raised his head from his sick couch In the basement of No. 1 engine house, counted the strokes of the alarm, and with a wan smile, latd himself down to die. Now he is In the land of perpetual eatings. No longer will he pine for tin cans and good Ci gars; his tobacco will forever be the best and there In the whereafter of goatdom, Yaarab, the world's most fa mous hollow-horned ruminant, will rule over his kind, and lend his good spirit to the festive occasions In which his former comrades, the Atlanta Fire men Drum Corps, shall hereafter take part, without Yaarab In the flesh In at tendance. As the far famed Capra of the world, Taarab has led a most Interesting life; has showed remarkably good sense, has always maintained an appetite guaranteed to withstand any old thing at any time, and now haa passed to his reward. Wrapped in 8ilk Blankets. Wrapped In the silk blankets In which he has slept for tour and a half wars, a blue mantel on which there Is the emblem of the Shrlners, and a red one surmounted with "A. F. D.,“ in white, Yaarab will be laid to rest with great ceremony Sunday morning at No. * engine house In West End. All honor will be done to the celebrated mascot, who. has contributed to the gaiety of many great functions since he came into this world over four years ago. Yaarab was presented to Chief Joy. ner, of the Atlanta Fire Departmen, when but three months old. George Hope, former chief of the sanitary de partment, entrusted the little haedus to Chief Joyner, who has since been his special master, though Fireman W. H. Ivey has always been looked on as Yaarab'a most Intimate friend. It was only to Ivey that the workings of the secret orders were revealed by Yaarab, who had access to the meetings of the big Atlanta lodges. In the Shrlners' circles Yaarab'a place was second to none. It was to Fireman Ivey that Yaarab looked his last word. It was a pathetic scene and one that will be long remembered by the confi dant of the goat that made Atlanta famous. • Yaarab'a Last Moments. Friday afternoon Yaarab complain ed of being 111. His method of com. plaining was made up of a groan ahd a growl, mixed with, flgltyneas. one of the usual symptoms of goat sickness. He was doctored and nursed, but Sat urday morning he was no better Gradually growing worse, his friends and comrades saw that he was losing out in his light with death, but they endeavored to make his last few hours on earth as easy as possible. About 16 minutes after » .o'clock Saturday morning ihe Are alarm bell sounded. Though everything had failed to rouee Yaarab from his dying slumber, the bell acted as if magic. Hieing up from his bed of hay, Yaarab looked at Fire man Ivey, nodded his head with every stroke of the. bell, assumed an expres slon as If to say, "That nre is at bo: 21; I think I'n have to go,” and laid his head down on the hay and breathed his last. The firemen who had not answered the alarm covered the goat with his Shrtner blanket, and went about their work with saddened hearts, trying to decide how they would break the news to their comrades when they returned. Yearal| as the mascot of the drum corps, made trips to Savannah, Chatta nooga, St Louis, New Orleans, Louis villa Memphis, Rome, Ga., and Mil ledgevllle. At all of these places hi met the very best people, attended balls, receptions, was received with much honor by the mayors and city of flolats ala his maw “ “* flcials, ate his meals In the main din ing rooms of the finest hotels and acted like a gentleman generally. And as for a parade—well—without Yaarab there could be no real pro cession. / Always a Gsntlsman. Yaarab was a gentleman. He lacked one trait, considered a falling of the entire breed of billy goats. Yaarab didn't have It at all. Therefore Yaarab was received everywhere, and was al ways well behaved. Yaarab had many little tricks about the fire engine house. As a helper he was strong. Pushing the shaving box about for the firemen was hts special dally task. That concluded, he would take himself oft to the alley where he would consume several tin cans, i piece of old hose, and a few rocks be fore attempting any other hard work. Yaarab was a comer all right and his demise leaves a big hole at No. 1 en gine house. His like will never found and his head, mounted oi handsome oak board, will be placed over the big alarm gong, hs so loved to hear. Yaarab Is no more and sad are the hearts of the firemen. REMARKABLE TIMELINESS OF DR. MA THESON'S DEGREE Last Wednesday evening at the din ner given by Governor Terrell In honor of George Foster Peabody and Dean James E. Russell, of Teachers' College, Columbia University, the subject of honorary titles came up. and the way they stuck to some' men while others were never known by them. Mr. Pea body remarked that he had been hon ored by a university with a doctor’s degree, but that It was safely packed up at home and no one ever knew any thing about It. Governor Terrell said that he, too, was entitled to be known as Doctor Terrell, but that no one ever used the title. Colonel N. E. Harris was another who had been so honored, hut who did not use the handle to bis name so given him. It developed that President Mathe- son, the new head of the Technological School, was the only one present .who at some time had not had this honor conferred upon him. Just then ■ the telephone rang and President Matheson was called for. He left the table and went to answer the 'phone, and when he came back hie face wore a pleased expression as he remarked: "Gentlemen, realising my deflcli Washington and Lee University has today conferred upon me the degree of doctor of laws.” He was Immediately heartily con gTatulated by the others, and since then has been In receipt of a large number of congratulatory letters and telegrams from all parts of the coun try..

SMITH AND HOWELL IN DEBATE AT ROME Continued from Page One. to any railroad on earth,” said Howell “Never owned a dollar's worth of rail road property, or borrowed money from them’' He asked If It was fair or right for Smith to stand before that audience and visit hla own sins on Howell. "Why, friends, there was never a day when Hoke couldn't give Hamp cards and spades and brat him at the game," declared Howell. Wanted Specific Instances. “Let Smith speak for himself about this. Will he do It?" Cries of "Ho will" were drowned out by, "No, no." * "I do not deal In glittering generall- ea, and you can bet your bottom dol- f that I have the record to back up ty statement I make here." He said Smith would shut out rail roads; Howell would let them come Jn to develop the state, but they must live strictly under the law*. He said Smith's campaign had been one of vinification and abuse for every public official, yet Smith had never put his finger on a specific Instance. He asked that In Smith’s hour and a half to specify and not to make vogue charges. Audience Rites to 8mlth. As he.spoke Increased applause went up for a full minute, while a stage hand produced an unearthly noise with huge piece of sheet' Iron. As Smith rose over half the audience stood and yolled Itself hoarse. Mr. 8mith Speaks. Mr. Smith said, In part: ”1 have charged that tho people are not receiving a square deal from the railroads. I have criticised the Dsm ocratlc machinery, the governor and the railroad commission for not pro tectlng the people against unjust freight and passenger rates. My crit icisms have been answered not by ar gument, but by personal abuse. I care nothing for their slanderous charges. ~ will prove my criticisms to be true. "The two railroads which run through this city and Immediate sec tion are the Southern and the Central. The rates charged by each of these railroads for carrying paasengera and freight are the same. You pay them 20-100 higher rates than you paid thlr- ty ' "For about eight years peat these railroads have been enjoying an Un precedented prosperity. The volume of their business has been Immense, and yet your railroad commissioners and your governor quietly sit by and lake no action to tiptore the rates formerly charged by these roads. Rates Were Reduced. Last fall, I brought to the atten tion of the public the gross Injustice of allowing thee# roads, and others which I have named, to charge the standard rates and 25 per cent added, view of the Immense business they were doing and the great profits they were making. I told the people of El- barton, Ga., that even before I was nominated for governor 1 would so make the public understand this question that the railroad commission would be compelled to do something to ward reducing these rates. "During the month of January, of the present year, the rates which the Central and the Southern roads were charging were ordered reduced by the railroad commission about I per cent. The railroad companies have filed a bill In the United States court against the commission, objecting even to this ■mall reduction. It Is shown by the railroad com missioner* themselves, Joseph M Brown having sworn to the statement, that the average rates In Georgia on the Southern and Central for the dis tances named are 26 per cent higher than those charged In Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina.
