THEATRICAL VETERAN DEAD.
Richard NJ. Hooley, the Widely-Known
Chicago Manager.


CHICAGO, Sept. 9-Rich ard NJ. Hooley,
the veteran theatrical man Iger, died at his
home in Delaware Place yesterday after
noon. He had been in poor health for
some time and on Monday last submitted
to an operation: which proved too much
for his constitution, rugged as it was for
man of his years. Mr.. Eooley was one
of Chicago's ablest theatrical managers
and his career threads the history of local
management He was born in Ballina,
County Mayo, Ireland, April 49, 1922
After a careful education, during the ac-
uuirement of which he became an expert
violinist, he came to New York in 1S44
and signed a contract to assume the nom
inal leader ship of minstrel organization
headed by the famous f. =. Christie.
Two years later Mr. Hooley organized n
minstrel company of his own, with which
he returned to England anC the provinces
The young manager came back to Amer
lea in 1853, making the overland trip to
San Francisco in 1855. After staying there
a few years he went to New York, but
finally came to Chicago in 1859 and built
Hooleys Opera house, where the Grand
Opera house now stands, OH Clark street.
This was successful until it was destroyed
by the great fire of 1871. In 1872 he built
the present Hooley's theatre which has
been run continuously under his manage
ment since that time. In 1856 Mr.. Hooley
married Miss Rosina Cramer in New York

The Anti-Romish society Refused In
corporation in Kansas.
TOPEKA. Kan, Sept 9.-Application has
been made to the secretary of state for
charter for the "Protective Association of
the State of Kansas. an snti-Roman Cath
Ollie organization the object of which is "to
protect our country and its free institu-
lions against the secret, intolerant, and ag-
gressive efforts that are persistently being
made by certain religious political organ
izations to control the government of the
United States and destroy our blood
bought civil and religious liberty; to main
tain our free public school system, and
oppose the union of church and state"
1t is probable that charter may not be
granted. At least Secretary of State Os-
borne announces that he will not author
ize the existence of such an incorporation
until he is compelled to by the courts or
advised to do so by proper legal authority.
He said that he did not believe there was
law authorizing the incorporation fsuch
an association. Further than that he de-
clined to give his reasons for refusing to
issue a charter. 1t is common report in
the state house that the Populists regard
the application as a scheme to involve
them in the religious controversy.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kas., Sept. 9. The
secretary of the interior has discovered too
late for the in ormation to be of practical
value that the arrangements for a grand

missioner Lamoreaux, in letter to

emption laws ale all repealed and that
entries should be made under the home
stead laws only. These laws provide for
entry at the land Office, the homesteader
not being required to see his land for six
months.
While the department still adheres to
the elaborate and complicated system OF
registering booths and agencies for the
detection of sooners the officers here now
from Washington practically admit their
uselessness and folly. Special Agent Wo-
mack severely criticises the action of his
superior officers, including Secretary

ing has been conducted and for the will
