REACHES HIS 50TH YEAR.
William j. Bryan Receives Messages
of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES In
His Honor Tonight.
(Herald Special. }

Lincoln, Neb., March 19.-William
]. Bryan, three times the choice OF
the democratic party for president OF
the United States, entered upon his
fiftieth year today, having been born
March 10, 1860. At the Bryan home
at Fairview countless letters and mes,
sages of congratulation poured in dur,
ing the day from friends and admir-
ers in every part of the country. Mr..
Bryan, having suspended his lecture
tour for a few days on account of his
birthday anniversary, spent the day
at home with his family.
The Nebraska admirers of Mr..
Bryan, including democratic leaders
and editors throughout the state,
have arranged for a complimentary
banquet in this city tonight. Mr..
Bryan will preside at the banquet.
More than ordinary interest is man
ifested in the affair for the reason
that the Fairview statesman in his
address is expected to make plain his
attitude with regard to the United
States senatorship, which it is be-
lieved he can have for the asking. So
far he has given no intimation regard
ing his position in the matter
The opinion prevails among his init
mate friends, however, that he does
not care for the toga- From politi-
cal standpoint the senatorship would
add little to the distinguished honors
already conferred upon him by the
democratic party, while from finan-
cial viewpoint it would mean dis
tinct loss, as the salary of $500 is
almost Insignificant as compared with
Mr.. Bryan's present earnings as
public speaker.

prospect of an exceedingly busy day

So large an attendance is expected
at the banquet that the diners will
be confined entirely to Yale men, who

body unprotected against a right

in a measure, caused by the in

battle policy.
l made no excuses after the
fight for not Knocking out Shar-

Sharkey was wonderfully fast
on his feet, and his charges were
regular sprints. This in a large
measure offset his lack of science.
Despite the injury which prevent
ed me using my left, always my
most effective hand, 1 think /

had my glove not come off. This,
occurring just after the last round
opened, caused Siler to stop the
flight after he failed to get the
glove on my hand. While Siler
was thus engaged, Sharkey, urged
by the crowd, tried to get me, but
1 drove him off with my right
and went to my corner.
Sharkey hit me hard and often,
and the 10000 who saw the bat
tie were encouraging him tc
knock me out. when as matter
o fact his punches were not hurt

times to take his heaviest blows
in order to get a crack at him with
