THE COMING BOOM.
First Effects Already Being Felt in
Town.

Town.
The financial boom predicted by mon
eyed men is already being felt. Care
full inquiry shows that cash has been
easier in the past twenty-four hours
than in six months before. Men who
held their money of fear that some
thing might happen to delay the Ha-

Numerous investments are being quiet
ly made.
The feeling Of security was notable
yesterday in the advance Of Waialua
stock, which went up from $92 80 to 800
in a few hours. Bids on the exchange
exceeded offers by two, which is also
something unusual. There were more
bids and heavier ones for hign priced
stocks than in some time, while the
bulls had nothing to offer in lower Sc

These who will have the honor OF ac-
cording the first greeting to the new CEN
fury for the reason that 1t will actually
begin there before It begins elsewhere are
the Russians In Kamchatka, the Japanese
in TOXIC and OF the island OF Yeso, the
Inhabitants OF the Philippines, OF New
Guinea island, of the solomon Islands and
Of the New Hebrides, the French in New
Caledonia and the inhabitants OF New
Zealand and of the little island OF Chatham,
in the Pacific ocean.
THE people OF this island win be able
to greet the new century before anyone
else, but It Is not probable that a similar
privilege will ever again be theirs, for the
reason that there Is not likely to be liv-
ing soul on the island a century hence
hundred years ago there were 1000 men
there. and In 1880 there were 1900. Five
years later, however. q number of Maoris
visited the island and ruthlessly began to
destroy the inhabitants. In 1870 there
were only 200 persons on the island, and
at present there are hardly more than
fifty.
Let everyone. however, remember dis
tinctly that the Twentieth century will be-
gin in every country at midnght OF De-
ccmber 81, 1900. The Asiatics will begin
10 enjoy IL before Europeans, and Eu-
ropeans before Americans. No one. not
even the richest man In New York, can
obtain the privilege OF being the very firtt
to greet it--that Is, unless he Is willing
TO travel to the distant island of Chatham
and join the handful of inhabitants in
singing a paean of welcome 10 the new
cycle

THE MART METEORITE.
Story of Big Iron Nugget that Fell from IN.

. 600 Gee zoe q ee ossaaaaaaaaaaa....

The fail OF a meteorite Is. in any local
ity, an evant of rare occurrence. The flight
Of shooting stars is a common sight. but
the descent of one OF these heavenly
bodies to the surface OF the earth is 50
very exceptional that the finding OF one
in our own State will arouse general in i
terest AS Baylor university has recen, "
secured one OF the few meteorites which
have been found In Texas, BRIEF state
ment regarding 1t seems appropriate at
this time.
Some two or three years ago Mr.. Watts
Vaughan. while blowing on farm near
Mart, Texas, found mass OF heavy mate
rial which he supposed to be iron. 1t
weighed Is pounds, Ia ounces. Efforts
to break off piece were unsuccessful.
Last summer Mr.. Henry T. Vaughan OF
Mart sent 1t to the Smithsonian institute
at Washington for examination Soou
thereafter he transferred the ownership OF

slice OF It on condition that they should
polish and etch the new cut surface OF
the principal mass. ITO make a chemi-
cal analysis Of It,
The cast, the principal mass with the
newly cut surface etched, and the photo
graph of the iron before and after cutting
have arrived and can now be seen In III
museum at Baylor University. In the fig
ure given herewith the size of the iron Is
indicated by the nine-inch ruler beside It..
1t shows well the pitted surface 50 con-

meteorite was seen during its fail. and
