SIIDDEN DEAIH DE M R.
EDWARD HACNEEI. P-N.
The sudden death of Mr. Edward
Hackett, briefly announced ill Satur-
day m0l'lling’s Guardian, came as a
distinct shock to ills muny friends
throughout the province. Few men
in public life in the province we-rc
better knownund none more highly
esteemed. He was borll in Tignish
on July 26th, 1842. As a young man
he carried on a mercantile business in
Tiguish and in 1876 began ills poll-
tical career having becu elected a
member of the Pre-vinciul Legislature-
for the First District of Prince (loun-
ty. After representing' his consti-
tuency for two sessions he wus in
1878 elected to the House of Conlnlons
as the representative c-` West Prince
and was re-elected in 1882. As it re-`
presentative both ill the provincial
and Federal purlinmenis llc was just-
ly reizurded as one of tile' Islands fore-
most public men. lie was un effec-
tive and graceful plotforln spcakcr,
kept in constant touch with his con-
stituents and reprcsentlsli tllem faith-
fully and fearlessly. After his re-
tirement from the political arena ho
was appointed inspector of Fisheries
n position which he held for several
years. February 16, 1912 herwas' afl-
pointed Postmaster at Charlottetown
the duties of which he performed with
satisfaction to the public and with cre-
dit to himself. On the day precedillg
his death he was at his dcsk all day,
as he had been practically without a
break since his appoilltlnent. He
retired about 9 o'clock :lud two hours
later Mrs. Desmond, nl whose home
he resided, heard some lluusual sounds
in his room. Going in she found
him unconscious and dying. She
immediately summoned Dr. McMillan
and Rev. Maurice McDonald. but oll`
their arrival he was Leyc-nd llulllun
aid. Ho never regained conscious-
ness and passed awny about eleven
o‘clock.
His wife predeceased him by about
20 years. There are left to mourn
one daughter, Mrs. Wheelock Fit-
gerald, of Montreal, one son John A.,
in Tlgnish and two sons in the United
States.
The bodywas taken to Tlgnlsh by
the three g’clock train Saturday after-
noon where lt lies at the home of his
sons, Mr. John A. Hackett and whence-
tlle funeral will take place on Tuesday.
The pall-bearers attending the remo-
val of the body to the Rail-
way Station were: ‘Sir Charles
Dalton, Mr. J. F. Whcar, Mr. J.
McCnrey, Mr. J. M. Hllghes, Mr. F.
H. Gill and Mr. D. J. McDonald.
To the bereaved relatives and
friends The Guardian extends deepest
sympathy.

Varying Opinions in New York
Regarding Wilson’s iiote.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Opinions
here concerning the advisability and
possible effect of President Wilson’s
note to the be-lligercnt governments
were found to differ, with a prepon-
derance of judgment endorsing Mr.
Wilson‘s action and seeing in it ulti-
mate good, says Tho Times. Al-
most no one interviewed believed that
the note would bring about immediate
peace, but that it would hasten the
coming of peace, was the belief of
many. There were those, however.
who shaply criticised thc President,
and thought his ilppcai unfair to tile
cullse of thc Allies.
Mayor Mitchell spoke out strongly
in endorsement of ihe Preside-nt.
“We have ull believed," he said,
"that this country, when the mom-
ent came, could bo of service in pav-
ing the wuy to pence ilcgctiutiolls.
'l‘llc Presldellt is curl-yillg out that
policy lin we ull ilopcd and expected
he wou ll. Wo ull feel thai. the sug-
gestion is a very laudable one, and
it is possible that it may result in
finding the basis for negotiations
and that, of course, everyone will
indorse."
NO ONE WORRIED
I OVER PEACE PROPOSALS.
(Canadian Press Despatch.)
Somewhere in_ France, Dec. 21.-
So fur as one can see, Germany’s
peace poposals have had little effect
here.
When the German wireless gave
i_ilo British army its first intlmntlon
of the nature of the Kaisel"s much-
heralded Christmas news to his sub-
jects, everybody was liilldly curious.
“What’s his game?" was the query
frequently on the lips of officers
and men. Nowhere- was there ally
other emotion than curiosity expres-
sed. This is the feeling of the whole
army.
Nobody takes the proposition ser-
iously. The privates read bulletins
posted for their benefit at various
encampments, and then turned and
walked away. unconcernell. lt was
plain they classed it with the pre-
vlous “stunts of a nlun wllo believes
himself in le-agua with the Almighty.
starting and stopping wars at will."
WHY THIS SUDDEN STEP?
Others consider it "unotilefr Ger-
man hluff"-taking the position that
if Germany is able to march on from
victory to victory. as stated by Chan-
cellor von Bethmann-Holiweg, why
all this sudden nlagnanimity? All
those here believe there's a "nigger
in the woodpile". somewhere.
No demonstrations in the German
trenches have so fel' been reported.
It appears that the German troops
themselves are little inclined to ju-
bilance over their Emperor's “Christ-
mas gift." I-lltherto at such mile-
stones of the war as the fall of
Warsaw, the- entrance into the liste
of Bulgaria, Turkey and other na-
tions, the German troops shouted
their opinions across No Msn'-s Land
and exhibited placards or threw notes
across to the French and British
trenches. ~
All is now changed. Possibly it is
to be attributed to a never ceasing
rain of British shells, which for some
time now have been bursting voi-
cano-like about them. killing. maim-
lng and burying the Germans in the
mud of their trenches.
If peace seems imminent to Ger-
many, lt looks quite the contrary
from this side of the line. England
seems prepared t o fight for ever,
_judging by evidences perfectly vis-
sible on all sides. The- mountains of
munitions are still growing; the
army is becoming bigger and bigger.

DE CR. IDHN P. NDDRE
In connection with the regrettable
death of Gunner John P. Moore,
ro_col'ded else-where', and owing to the
peculiar circumstances attending it,
it was deemed advisable' to
hold _ an inquest. Accordingly
'Phe Coroner. Lieut. col . H.
D. Johnson, M. D., directed Col.
S. R. Jenkins to make an autopsy.
Colonel Jenkins assisted by Doctors
Ross and Dewar did so and the body
was viewed by the following jurors:
Benjamin Carter, foreman; Thomas
McMillan, John McLeod, Andrew Hen-
n`e8sey, Robert Dewar, Wnl. Moran,
George Scantiebury.
Dr. Ross was the first witness. He
testified that at the request of lLleut.
Col. Jenkins, he administered an an-
uer-thetic to the deceased with the
usual care and after making the usual
examination of the patient. He had
given the patient a small quantity of
chloroform for five or six millu-tes by
the drop method and the- usual mask.
He had just changed the anaesthetic
to ether, as is customary. when the
stage- of excitement is subslding. Tile

heh-rt stopped boating. Every method
of resuscitation was employed for
fifty minutes. Drs. Jenkins and De-
war taking part. All efforts were
fruitless. Asked what he considered
the cause' of death, Dr. Ross said, it
was due to paralysis of the respira-
tory and cardiac centres.
Lt. Cdl. Jenkins was the next
witness. His' evidence with reference
.to the death and the efforts at res-
uscitation corroborated that of Dr.
Ross-. He further testified as to the
findings at the autopsy. The pleura
at the ape-x and the baseof the left
lung was adherent to the chest wall.
There were also considerable adhe-
sions on the right lung, over the great-
er part of the lung. On opening the
pcricalwliwm, the heart seemed slight-
ly enlarged, and the right side in col-
lapse and empty. There was no blood
in either cavity; the' right side was
dilated and the walls thinner than'
normal. The liver was larger than
normal, e-specially the le'i‘t lobe. Both
kidneys were larger than normal and
the right kidney sllightly flbruous,
the cortex thinner than usual and' the
capsule adherent. Tile left kidney also
-showed siluilur changes out of the
normal, but in a lesser degree. The
walls of the stolmacll we-l'e tlllckened
and its muscous membrane markedly
so and congested. Asked as to the
cause of death, he- agreed with Dr.
Ross, that it was due to paralysis of
the respiratory and cardiac centres.
caused primarily by the annestlle-tic,

heart be~lng contributing causes.
Dr. Dewar's evidence was essen-
tiailly the same as that of the other
two doctors.

of the P. 1E. i. Hospital and Miss Ho-
ward, one of the nurses, also gave-
evldellce as to llis~condition on enter-
ing the hospital. }ie appeared to be in
ordinary health, being somewhat ner-
vous. as is usually the case with
patients about to undergo an opera-
tion. -
Major Leigh and Lieut. Davison
gave evidence as to his joining the
draft of the Fifth Siege Battery last
September and to his general con-
duct which was Hood.
The jury returned the f0lIOWl\1R
verdict: "That, John P. Moore came”
to his death on the 23rd day of De-
