YAARAB'S SPIRIT BUTTS
INTO THE GREAT BEYOND
Drum Corps Goat Which Made
Famous Dies of Acute
- ' Tincanitis.
Atlanta
fakrab la dead.
Taarab, the Great, has passed to his
ITvard.
The diagnosis of Fireman W. H. Ivey,
Vaarab’s apodal friend and physician,
nhowed 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 base ment of Mo. 1
engine j house, counted the strokes of
the alarm, and with u wan smile, laid
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 bo tho
best and there In the whereafter of
goatdom, Taarab, the world's most fa
tunus hollow-horned ruminant, will
rule over hla 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 Taarab 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 has passed to his
reward.
Wrapped In 8ilk Blankets.
Wrapped In the silk blankets
which he has slept’ for four and a half
years, a blOe mantel on which there Is
the emblem of the Shrlners, and a red
one surmounted with "A. F, D.,’’ In
white, Taarab will be laid to rest with
great ceremony Sunday morning at No.
T engine house In West End. All honor
will be done to the celebrated mascot,
who has contributed to the gaiety of
mnny great functions since he came
Into this world over four years ago.
Taarab was presented to Chief Joy
ner. of the Atlanta Firs 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
Ynarab's most Intimate friend. It was
only to Ivey that the workings of the
secret orders were revealed by Taarab,
who had access to the meetings of the
big Atlanta lodges.
In the Shrlners' circles Taafab's place
was second to none. It was to Fireman
Ivey that Taarab 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.
Yssrsb’s Last Moments.
Friday afternoon Taarab complain'
ed of being 111. His method of com'
plaining was made up of a groan and
a growl, mixed with flgltyness, one of
the usual symptoms of goat sickness.
He was doctored and nursed, but Sat
unlay morning he was no better.
.Gradually growing worse, his ■■■■■
and comrades saw that he was losing
out In his fight with death, but they
endeavored to make his last few hours
on earth as easy as possible. About
15 minutes after s o'clock Saturday
morning the fire alarm bell sounded.
Though everything had failed to' rouse
Taarab from bis dying slumber, tho
bell acted as If magic. Rising up from
bis bed of hay, Taarab looked at Fire
man Ivey, nodded his head with every
stroke of the bell, assumed an expres
sion as If to say, "That lire Is at box
22; I think I'll 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 hla
Shriner blanket, and went about their
work with saddened hearts, trying to
decide how they would break the news
to their comrades when they returnei
Taarata as the mascot of the drui
corps, made trips to Savannah, Chatta
nooga, St. Louis, New Orleans, Louis
vllle, Memphis, Rome, Ga., and Mil.
ledgevllle. At all of these places he
met the very best people, attended
balls, receptions, Was received with
much honor by the nfltyors and city of
ficials, ats 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
Taarab there could be no real pro
cession.
Always a Gentleman.
Taarab was a gentleman. He lacked
one trait, considered a falling of the
entire breed of billy goats. Taarab
didn't have It at all. Therefore Taarab
was received everywhere, and was al
ways well behaved.
Taarab had many little tricks about
the fire engine house. As a helper he
was strong. Pushing the shaving box
about for the firemen eras hla special
dally task. That concluded, he would
take himself off 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.
Taarab 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 bfg alarm gong, hn so loved
to hear.
Taarab 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 Dsan
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
teas another who had been so honored,
but who did not use the handle to his
name so given hjm.
It developed that President Mathe-
son, the new head of the Technological'
School, was the 'only one present who
at some time bad not had this honor
conferred upon him.
Just then the telephone rang and
President Matheson was called for. H<
left the table and went to answer the
'phone, and when he came back his
face wore a pleased, expression as he
remarked:
"Gentlemen, realising my deficiency,
Washington and Lee University has
today conferred upon me the degree of
doctor of laws."
He was Immediately heartily con
gratulated by the others, and since
then has been In receipt of a large
number of congratulatory letters and

He said Smith would shut out rail

Smith had never put hla linger on a

up for a full minute, while a stage

As Smith rose over half the audience

Mr. 8mith 8peak,.
Mr. Smith said, In part:
"I have charged that ths people are
not receiving a square deal from the
railroads. I have criticised the Dem
ocratic machinery, the governor and
the railroad commission for not pro
tecting 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.
1 will prove my criticisms to be true.
"Tho 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 fpr parrying passengers and
freight are the same. Tou pay them
10-100 higher rates than you paid thir
ty years ago.
"For about eight years past these
railroads have been enjoying an un
precedented prosperity. The volume
of their business has been Immense,
and yet your rallmad commissioners
and your governor quietly sit by and
lake no action to tistore the rates
formerly charged by these roads.
Rates Wars Reduced.
“Last fall, I brought to the atten
tion of the public ths gross Injustice
of allowing these '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 ths great profits they
were making. I told the people of El
berton, Gs., that even before I wai
nominated for governor I would sc
make tha public understand this
question that ths railroad commission
would be compelled to do something to
ward reducing these rates.
