and every one seemed to thoroughly en-
Joy the great amount of nonsense which
the author has served up in the shape of
a play.
There is n laugh for every minute and
songs in between times. The plot is not
one which serves to tax the mental facul-
ties in its unraveling, but is merely in
terpolated as it were, that the songs and
comedy may be woven together in some
SORT of conventional manner. Many
strange things happen during the course
Of the play, and the audience is made
aware, at least to a certain degree, of
the many mysterious regulations govern
ing secret societies. Those which are
shown in Are You a Buffalo, may or
may not be of the real and genuine va
riety. but certainly they serve their pur-
pose in supplying an unusual amount OF
fun. The music which is introduced
throughout the play is very tuneful and
bright, and the specialties are clever.

WOMAN SUES ESTATE
OF LATE c. B. ROUSS
Claims He Contracted to
Pay Her SIS Weekly.

NEW YORK. Dec. 30.-Miss Edna Wei
Ter Mcclellan. whose home is given as
lO5 West Seventy Street. and
who is twenty-tnTee years Old and an
attractive brunette. has presented a
! claim for $2.7OO against the estate OF
/ Charles Broadway Rouss, who died
March 3. leaving property valued at
several millions Of dollars. While this is
the direc; amount at present involved,
much more Is indirectly at stake.
1t was after consultation with her
counsel, Howe & Hummel, that she
brought the suit. which is based upon
the assertion that Mr.. Rouss in 1900
agreed to pay her S35 weekly. He Is
declared TO have made many payments
to her during his life under the agree
ment-in all. about Sl.s15; until October.
1901. The purpose OF her present suit is
10 compel the executor Of the estate
William " Rouss. Of 2ll Park Place,
Brooklyn. to tUlhH the terms Of the
contract, which, it is set forth, reads
as follows:
II. Charles Broadway Rouss. do hereby
agree with Edna Weller Mcclellan that
if she will agree not to bring suit
against ME for any claim she has against
me. will pay her S95 each and every
week during her lifetime.
&C. 3. ROUss.
Witness: Caroline ". Mcclellan"
Mrs. Mcclellan, VINO is declar d TO
have signed the paper as witness, the
mother Of the young woman. No ola
nation is given why such an agreement
Is entered into. and Mr. FUNNEL de-
clined TO reveal any facts in connection
with it except " hat the complainant set
forth
II was learned that Miss Mcclellan
was in the habit OF going 70 the residence
OF Mr Rouss and attending musicales
and receptions that he gave. She says
she considered she was on terms Of
friendship with the millionaire.
II this claim is upheld assuming that
she lives 70 be fifty or sixty years Of age.
according to the established tables. she
will received from the estate about $780,
600. Miss Mcclellan spent considerable
time in Paris after the agreement is said
TO have been made. and while there. II is
said. she received payments from Mr.
Rouss. also letters which she is prepared
to introduce in evidence when the case
comes 20 trial.
As the executor OF the estate denies
any knowledge OF such an agreement and
says II one was made fl is void. his coun-
sci. j. j. Rooney. obtained an order for
the examination Of Miss Mcclellan before
Paul Halpin as referee. Application was
made TO Judge Fitzgerald to vacate this
order by Benjamin Steinhardt. who urged
that under aidceision Of the Court Of Ap-
peais contract Of this character having
been made the facts and details sur
rounding 81 cannot be reviewed unless
there is some allegation Of fraud. As Mr..
Rouss had sanctioned the agreement bv
making payment under it, counsel ar
gued. the heirs Of his estate could not
now question it. Judge Fitzgerald took
the motion under consideration.
