THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. IUTCIIDAV, JUNK 23, int 3 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 telegrams from all parts of the coun try. DR. YOUNG J.

"No, no.” "I do not deal In glittering general! ties, and you can bet your bottom dol lar that I have the record to back up any etatement I make here.” He said Smith would shut out rail roads; Howell would let them come In to develop the state, but they must live strictly under the laws Hs said Smith's campaign had been one of vllllltcatlon and abuse for every public official, yet Smith had never put hla linger on a specific Instance. Ha asked that In Smith's hour and a half to specify and not to make vague charges. Audience Rises to 8mlth. As he spoke Increased applause went up for a full minute, while a stage hand produced an unearthly nolo# with bugs piece of sheet Iron. As Smith rose over half the audience stood and yelled Itself hoarse. 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.
