William Jennings Bryan Was Fifty-One Tears Old Sunday.

William Jennings Bryan, thrice defeated for the presidency, was 51 years of age Sunday and the event is being celebrated this Monday evening at Lincoln, Neb., by a “dollar” dinner, In which about 900 people are expected to participate. On his 50th anniversary the dinner was a $3 affair, which indicates either the lower cost of living or the desire for more common "eats” preparatory to asking another nomination.
