SILVER MEDAL FOR EACH
Anacostia Citizens toHonor the Local Soldier
Boys.
Elaborate Program to Be Observed
tomorrow EveninS-COl. Harries
an Invited Guest.

The citizens of Aracostia have made ar
ransements to extend a hearty welcome to
the men OF their section of the District who
enlisted in the service of the United States.
after the declaration of war against Spain.
1t is proposed to have the affair take the
form of an indoor reception tomorrow
night, at Masonic Hall, Anacostia, when
silver medals will be presented to the re-
turned heroes in the presence of the par
ents or other friends and an effort made to
entertain them with vocal and instrumental
music and, doubtless, "reminiscences of the
struggle in which they participated.
1t is understood there are about twenty
men who will be thus honored. Some be-
long to the regular service, but most of
them went forth with the 1st District of
Columbia Volunteers. Some of the men
nave not yet returned to their homes, hav-
ing been kept away by illness by duty.
The medals for these will be- presented
when they return.
A preliminary meeting was held by the
business men OF Anacostia a few evenings
ago, for the purpose of arranging for the
affair. Mr.. Julius w. Tolson was chosen
chairman, Mr.. Samuel M. Frazier, secre-
tary, and Mr. c. H. Weiss, treasurer. Af-
ter appointing a few committees, the meet
ing was adjourned until last night.

Use of Masonic Hall.
Chairman Tolson reported that the use of
Masonic Hall for the night had been ten
dered free Messrs. J. w. BARLEY and
Charles Brooks, composing the committee
on medals, stated that they had selected
an appropriate design by a Washington
manufacturer and had ordered a certain
number of medals to be struck off at once.
AS such action on the part of the commit
tee was necessary if the medals are to be
ready by tomorrow night, the report was
accepted.
and S. M. Frazier were appointed a COM
mittee to visit St Elizabeth and try to
secure the services of the st. Elizabeth
Home Band for the occasion. 1t was de-
cided that Colonel Harries, commanding
the 1st District Regiment. be invited to at
tend, and Mr. George f. Pyles was selected
to wait upon Colonel Harries and extend
the invitation.
The program to be carried out in the hall
was adopted at the suggestion of Mr. Geo.
o. Watson. The chairman of the citizens
committee, Mr. Julius w. Tolson, who will,
it is understood. act in the same capacity
tomorrow night, is to make the opening re-
marks. The returned soldiers will receive
their medals from the hands of young girls,
and there will doubtless be some impromp-
tu remarks by persons who will be called
upon. Mr.. Daniel c. SmithSon was ap-
pointed to take charge of the vocal music.
Secretary Frazier was instructed to notify
the soldier boys by letter of the proposed
reception and extend them, well their
parents, relatives and friends, cordial in
vitation to be present
