ly. 1t is only on special occasions that the best
known and most popular members Of the club
turn out. At Delmonicos, on Tuesday night
there were 200 ormore members of the club. and
among them were many famous newspaper
| writer's. For the first time In recent years prom
! inent newspaper proprietors attended the Press
| Clubs annual banquet. Ben Buffers speech
was not particularly bright. but the dinner was
| enjoyable. The speakers We're limited to a few
| minutes each. and a quartet OF singers was sand
| wiched In between them. Gus Williams and a
number OF prominent actors made speeches or
| sang songs az various times during the evening
| and Frank Lincoln. who is by all odds the cley-
| crest entertainer Of his sort ever had in New
| York, did number Of odd and amusing tricks
Col. Merriman. the president of the club. IS a
| man of almost infantile proportions but ey-
| tremely popular and ndou btedlv the best pres
| fdent the club has ever had. He is now enjoy
| Ing his third term.
''sTORM-BEATEN."
After an immense amount of preliminary puff
fiery the Storm Beaten" was produced Monday
night at the Union Square theater. For num-
Der of years the Union Square has had the
| reputation Of having the best stock company In
the country. Heretofore the thea-er had been
managed shrewdly and successfully, and its
opening nights have been among the more I'M
| portant events OF the theatrical season. Among
| the sensations promised for the first night was
Steele Macaeye's patent automatic folding chair
| 1t is difficult TO decide which is the
greater failure. ''Storm- Beaten or the chair
! Probably the failure of the chair had some
thing to do with the failure of storm
! Beaten" In the most thrilling part of
| the play, when the iceberg sensation
| of "Storm-Beaten' was in full sway on the
| stage. a gentleman OF enormous proportions
| and Hebraic extraction gave piercing shrek,
clutched the air wildly and sank from view. His
chair collapsed and fell into q space Of l6xlS
lie rose, and. with the assistance of the small
man behind him. yanked the chair up in position
and again resumed his seat with face express
ing desolation and gloom. The small gentle
man who had assisted him from behind smiled
as he was thanked and resumed his seat but
unfortunately his seat had also folded up and
the small gentleman duplicated the shrek
| of the man he had assisted These little
incidents made the audience nervous and
spoiled some of the Illusions OF the
play. The play itself is the most ridiculous melo-
drama | have seen for many wears Its utter
| impossibility from beginning to end is almost
an insult to the intelligence of the audience.
Mr.. Marsden. the scene-painter. received all the
honors. Mckee Rankin beloved like a wild
man; Maud Harrison attempted serious role
| with dire effect, and Effie Ellsler played
QuakereSs namely Stoddard and Parselle who
are two of the most capable actors on the sta &c.
failed to make anything of the nonsensical roles
assigned them. But Marsden doomed up SUI
preme. The fact is, the scene-painter was
brought forward too prominently. He was

than all the other members of the cast put to-
gether. The scenery was not extraordinary.

Tea and Coffee at Night.
From the London Truth
The use of tea at night is another very mixed
question. If your nerves are fatigued, tea will
often make you sleep; but If you are oyer-ex-
