one of the most widely known pLysi-
clans of Bridgeport For many years
DR.. Hoyt had been an active and
prominent figure in the West End
He was a physician of the old school,
genial in manner and a lover of all
the good things of life. He came
to the house of aff1icti0n rather as a
counselor and friend than as the doc
tor to heal the sick. Those who
were in trouble sought his advice on
family matters or whatever beset
their minds as well as on things
which concerned their physical well
being.
For a number of years he was ac-
tive in Democratic politics in this city
and during the administration of May
or Walter B. Bostwick he was a. mem
Der OF the board Of health. He and

friends and for a period of about

Hoyt's house in State street.
DIR. Hoyt was an ardent sports
man. In company with Mayor Bost-
wick. E. w. Ensign. D. Clifford Hall,
clerk of the Fire board, Alderman
walker and other well known resi-
dents of the West End he made many
hunting and fishing trips. For years
he kept a fishing lodge at Bantam
Lake. He was one of the original
members of the California club whose
club house opposite st. Mary s-by-the-
Sea was a rendezvous for prominent
West End citizens and politicians
Dr. Hoyt was born in Danbury on
July 2s, 1852 He came to Bridgeport
80 years ago when the late Mayor
Bostwick came here from New Mil
ford and from that time until Mayor
Bostwick's death he and DIR. Hoyt were
warm personal friends. First he
learned the hating trade but later
attended Danbury high school and also
Yale Medical school from which he
graduated with high honors. He was
3 warm personal friend of DR. George

HAYTI NOW HAS :E<. |.;:~
NEW PRESIDENT,
GOVERNMENT rs WITHOUT
CREDIT OR RESOURCES FOR
SUPPORT.

Washington, March General
Vtlburn Guillaume Sam has been
elected president Of Hayti by the Con
gress OF that country, according to a
dispatch received at the State De-
paftment today. General Sam led O
revolution to success recently result
ing in the fight Of president Theo-
dore. t
The 81, ction Of the reyolutionist
leader is practically coincidental with
the arrival In Hayti Of the American
commission headed by former Gov
ernor Fort, Of New Jersey, sent down
to effect an arrangement with the
Haytiens for financial rehabilitation
OF their government.
1t had been hoped that the election
would be deferred until the arrival
OF the commission, in order that the
influence Of the United States could
be brought to bear before a new gov
eminent was set up, =
There are no Indications that the
new president Is any more favorably
disposed toward the United States,
suggestions involving practically
American control Of Haytien finances
than was his predecessor, The only
TACT causing hope, Is that there is even
less money In the country now than
when Theodore was in charge, and
the government Ia practically without
credit or resources.
