Royal Beggar Snubbed by Chicago Social Leaders
An English nobleman Marquis Townshend and his secretary were snubbed by Mrs. Potter Palmer and former Congressman George E. Adams during a Chicago visit. The marquis arrived with letters of introduction but received no invitations from north side residences, fueling rumors of a marriage alliance. He stated interest in American women but claimed no desire to wed. An upcoming charity event at Tiede's hall supports their benevolent work for local poor and aims to fund supplies for continued service.
