THE DESCENT OF
THE HOLY iHGGSSTI GiHHGST
Pentecost Celebrated in the
Christian Churches.
The Feast Of the Bestowal of the
Gift of Tongues.
Appropriate Services Held in Cath
ollie and Protestant Churches
of the City.

Yesterday was observed in the Christian
churches as the anniversary of the descent
of the Holy Ghost and the bestowal of the
gift of tongues upon the Apostles.
In the second chapter of the Acts of the
Apostles ii is related that when the pente-
cost was fully come, the Apostles were
gathered in one place. Suddenly there
came sound from Heaven as of mighty
rushing wind, and there appeared unto the
Apostles cloven tongues of fire.
The text of the Scriptural passage fol-
lows:
And when the Pentocost was fully come they
were all with enc accord in place. And sud
denly there came sound from heaven MS of
mighty rushing wind, and it filed all the house
where they were sitting; and there appeared
unto them cloven tongues like OF fire. and il
sat upon each OF them.
And they were all flied with the Holy Ghost
and began 10 speak with other tongues as the
Spirit gave them utterance. And there were
dwelling at Jerusalem Jews deyout men, out of
every nation under heaven. Now when this was
noised abroad, the multitude came together and
were confused, because every heard them
speak IN his own language. And they were all
amazed and marveed, saying one TO another,
behold, are not all these that speak, Gaileans? ?
And now hear we every man in our own tongue,
wherein were born?
Parthians ard Medes and Elamites and the
dwellers in Aesopotamia, and in Judea and Cappa-
docia, in Pontus and Asia, Phrygia, and Pam
phylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Lbya, about
Cerene, and strangers of Rome, and prosylites.
tretes and Arabians we 90 near them speak in
our own tongues the wonderful words OF God.
And they were all amazed, and were in doubt
saying one to another. What meaneIh this?
Cthers, mocking, said, These men are full Of new
wine.
But, Peter. standing up with the eleven, lift
ed up his voice and said unto them, For these
are not drunken, as We suppose, seeing it is but
the third hour of the day.
The day was observed by the Jews on
last Sunday and the Christian Churches
began the observance of the Pentecostal
period. With the Jews the day is known
as Shabuoth and is respected by them as
commanded in Exodus, xxiii;14 10, and 16
Th:ee times shalt thou keep feast unto me in
the year.
Thou shalt keep the feast Of unleavened bread;
tthou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days. as
] commanded thee, in the time appointed of the
month Abb, for in il thou earnest out of Egypt,
and none shall appear before me empty)
And the feast of harvest, the first fruits Of thy
labors which thou hast in the field; and the
feas; Of ingathering, which is in the end Of the
year. when thou hast gathered in thy labors out
of the field
The day was celebrated in the Catholic
churches by solemn high mass and SER
mon on the Holy Ghost.
Appropriate services were held in the
Protestant churches.

New Castle.

New Castle.
Wilmington, Del. May 2I.-Fiftesn cuI-
prits were publicly whipped in the New
Castle jailyard yesterday with the cat O.
nine tails. Fully 100 spectators. some in
terested in the study of criminology,
watched the men squirm and wrigg.e
through the ordeal. In the gathering were
numerous women, who gazed without a
tremor at the unfortunate men whose
hacks were being honeycombed with bright
red welts as the rawhide struck the bare
skin. Sheriff Taylor welded the "cat,"
and the number flogged is the greatest IN
any one day of recent years II took eN-
actly twenty-eight minutes to chastise the
men. and then they were conducted back
TO their cells TO serve sentences for petty
larceny and other trivial offences.
George Hilton. colored, received twenty
stinging lashes. after which he was placed
IN the pillory for one hour. raw wind
WAS blowing from the Delaware River, but
Hilton bore the ordeal without grum5lIng.
After being released from The stocks he
was so angry that he attempted to assault
Warden Hanee, but he was overpowered
and thrust into cell. Hiltons companion,
Henry Harding dreaded the whipping
Lightly. Sheriff" he pleaded, as be was
secured TO the post. He squirmed and
twisted and stood sideways as the twenty
blows were laid on. He seemed TO be tor

Bsptists had their big time today. At least
twenty thousand people were In attendance

gates seem at home and all are pleasantly
located. Tomorrow they will get down 10
business In earnest. Today nearly every
pulpit in the city WAS filed by visitors.
The pickpockets are still getting in their
work. but IL is hoped that the vigilance OF
the officers will prevent wholesale thiev-
ing which sometimes follows these big
gatherings. Fourteen suspects have been
arrested. The police nabbed six men this
afternoon. There is no doubt about there
being regularly organized band of thieves
in the city. The six men arrested gave
their names as follows: Albert Olson, H.
G. Davis, Joseph Coleman; Frederick
Jones; Frank Rucker. and Thomas Ryan.
Olson. when arrested, had just gone
through A. J. Laynes clothes. removing
his purse from an inside pocket Layne
seized the thief and succeeded In getting
his purse. when others came to his as
sistance. Olson was turned over TO po-
liceman.
