New York, Dec. 2S.-Discovery of
the grave of his great-great- grandfather
at Larsen's Corner, a small isolated
farming community near Ringoes, Hun
terdon county, N. j., by John D. Rookie
short time since the discovery led to
the rehabilitation Of the oldest town in
the state as trading center to some
thing like the former Importance which
the little place possessed back in coloni-
al days, and has made it the most
talked-of town in the county.
Under the effect of the discovery the
business has picked up to double what
it was a few months ago, and there has
been a general "brushing up' on the
part Of the few tradesmen there, who
now look for boom that will wake the
place from the lethargy into which it re-
sylvania built a line thru that section
and drew the bulk Of the trade away.
During the past summer MI. Rookie
Teller went to Ringoes, and thence by
tedious drive to Larsen's Corner, to
learn if possible, the, location Of the
grave of his paternal ancestor. The dis
covery Of it at once aroused in him a
lively interest in the town and when he
began improving the old colonial grave
yard and building a handsome stone
wall around it, the countryside was
agape with curiosity. Beside this
change, the old Presbyterian church
came in for share Of the brushing
up and was repaired and the debt was
paid off, and burden was lifted from
the struggling congregation. The aged
and faithful preacher also came in for
a handsome remembrance. A handsome
monument now marks the spot where
the Rockefeller ancestor lies, and his
grateful grandson has bought two acres
adjoining the church, where he wor-
SHIPPED, and has decided it to the church.
The townfolk have taken new inter-
est in things material and are brighten
ing up their homes. The country store
has been enlarged and decorated as a
sort Of response to the new life which
the town feels and business has picked
up amazingly.

BURNS FOR LARGER

Labor Member of British Cabinet
Fearlessly Declares Policy
He Will Pursue.

London, Dec. 2s.-John Burns, presi-
dent Of the local government board,
made his first public address since his
entry to the cabinet, when he opened
the election campaign at Battersea last
night. In a enthusiastically cour-
ageous speech he said that his accession
to office was the elevation Of his con-
stituents to power-the honor was
theirs but the work was for him. He
declared that he would pander to no
section of the population, but would
do his duty for the benefit of the whole
community.
Mr.. Burns said that he had such
strong sympathy with all the interests
of the working classes that he had no
sympathy to spare for the loafer
Hcadger'' or drunkard. His ideal was
fewer warehouses;, smaller charities,
larger wages, more pleasures and less
drink. e
In the smaller cities and in the larger
villages he said he was already appoint
ing committees to enable the rate pay
ers to have their accounts prepared In
such a way that he who runs may read.
He vigorously attacked what be
called orientalized imperialism, Of
which Somaliland was the fruit ano
South Africa the 'trotten ripe prod
uct.' He denounced Chinese labor as
being politically dangerous, because 1t
