Church, 10Th and V streets. Mrs. Chandler
Anderson of New York, sister of the bride,
| was her only attendant, the Spanish minis
| ter, Senior Don Emilio de Ojeda, being best
man and witness for the bridegroom. The
spacious mansion was most deliberately dec
Grated with flowers, each room having
color appropriate to its permanent arrange
ment making a scene in marked contrast
| to the wintry picture that high winds and
| drifting snow formed in the locality of Con-
necticut and Florida avenues. The devo-
ton of this couple, eliminating in their
marriage today, has been watched with in
terest at this capital, where both have so
many friends. First postponed by the long

well-merited reward of his five years term
here, before setting the date for the we'd
