    It sounds weird, given that 1994 was like 30 years ago, not 130 years. I’d personally say “late 90s” rather than late 1900s. If i was referring to the 19th century, then yea I may say late 1800s for 1894. There isn’t anything wrong with it, it just sounds weird and makes a lot of people feel old as shit. Most people would say late 90s I think. I feel that you’d get a weird look if you referred to 1994 as the late 1900s in casual conversation.
