' Tho twentieth century Is here. It was
ushered In at. midnight amid a saturnalia
ot gunpowder, clanging of bells, shrieking
of whistles and tho tumultuous hurrahs of
young America and Vomo old ones, too.
The streets were thronged with pedestrians
until after 12 o'clock nud thero was a gen
oral recognition of tho fact that not only
a now year, but a new century, was dawn
lb.
. Inasmuch as tho birth ot centuries arc
-witnessed only onco In a lifetime every'
body seemed to try to mako tho most ot
tho occasion. In nearly all of tile churches
watch meetings were held, club rooms and
- lodges kept open houso until early In tho
morning, residences were tho sceno of gay
functions, all on account of the ccnten
nlal epoch. Tho street cars worked nearly
two hours overtime carrying belated revel
ers home, and thero was a great demand
for Jehus when nt last tho cars ceased
running. It Is hardly fair, however, to
nso tho word "revelers" In this connoc
tlou, for many a stnld old father and sev
eral demure matrons wero among those
who went homo late.
.'This Now Year Is a double holiday by
reason of tho century milestone and tho
day will bo moro genernlly observed than
usual. IluslncsH will bo practically sus
