NEGROES EXPORTING
IN FEAR OF COMET
Churches Crowded, While
Richmond Courts and
Kitchens Are Vacant.

RICHMOND, Va, May 1s.-NegTo e1-
hortors are holding services in the
streets here today working their audi
tors into paroXysms OF terror with dire
prophecy that the end Of the world is
almost at hand
Early this morning little hands Of su-
peTsttioUs black men and women con-
gregated on the streets and prayed loud
~ for deliversnce and salvation.
In several cf the churches special ser
vices are being held IN an endeavor TO
avert by prayer the calamity which all
seem to believe IS certain TO follow the
contact OF the earth with the tall Of
Halley's comet tonight.
Sure Of Election"
The fear, while general, has resulted
in the development Of a marked denoul-
national feeling. Negroes OF one sect
believe that those Of that faith alone
viii be saved As a result Baptists are
urging MethOdists 20 come over, end
vice versa. Both are using strenuous
efforts 10 persuade nOn-church mem
bers 10 get religion" and their efforts
are meeting with no small success.
Marked evidence Of the effect OF tie
comet on the morals Of the population

0OcheL this morning Usually crowded
with men and women charged with
every variety Of petty odenses, today
found this court almost empty. For
The present at least. the petty thieTeTy
and drunkenness has been done away
with Negro saloons and resorts Izight
as well close their doors. for there are
no customers.
Breakfasts Are Missed
All this. however, IS severely felt by
the whites. many OF whom were hard
put this morning 20 get thelg breakfasts.
Servants failed to put in jheIr appear
ance, nor could any amount Of coax
ing persuade them 20 return TO their
mental duties

The more educated class OF negroes
