 There is new trust in New York. It is international in scope and bears the high sounding title of ''Cercle de la Noblesse. As its name implies, the concern is sort of exclusive club, with membership made up from the ranks of the nobility"
 A foreigner named Wohlfarth is the originator of the enterprise, and he be- lieves that if the American people do not ride him out of the country on a fence rail or give him an introduction i to tar and feathers he will go down to posterity as philanthropist.
 The Cercle de la Noblesse is char tered company and has established clubroom near the Waldorf hotel.
 The ostensible purpose of the club, or company, is ito offer pleasant and rec reative place of meeting to the elite of Europe 5 society visiting in this country, ! to render their stay on American ground as pleasant as possible and to facilitate their movements, social and other.
 There are 200 charter members of the Oercle de Ia Noblesse, of whom the Due de Chartres of Paris is the most conspic- uous The club is incorporated under the laws of the state of New Jersey, and the charter, regularly signed and sealed, has been filed in the office of the secre- tary of state i'll Trenton.
 The charter is very elastic one and permits the society Ito acquire the good will, right and property of any kind and to undertake the whole or any part of the assets and liabilities of any person, firm, association or incorporation; to draw, make, accept, indorse. execute and issue promissory notes. bills of ex- change, warrants, bonds debentures and other negotiable or transferable instru , ments, etc. The club was chartered, among others, by Arthur. duke d 'Auxy; Harold. count d Auxy; Dennis B. Ryan and Rene Wohlfarth
 The last two are the real promoters of the enterprise. Wohlfarth is the presi- dent, but as soon as the club, which is capitalized at $i00, 900, IS fairly launched he will resign in favor of some duke or count. The members of the club will have all opportunity to meet eligible American girls of wealth if the scheme is successful, and after the first meeting detectives and agents will be put upon the trail of the girls and ap- praise their fortunes. Matchmaking is the object aimed at, and wherever girl is found who is willing to pool her wealth and womanhood with the title of foreign "noble" the details will be arranged by the club members for the small consideration of per cent of the dowry.
 It is anticipated that the commissions will pay the cost of maintaining the club and leave besides a handsome profit on the investment
 The expenses of the Cercle de la No blesse are estimated at SIT, 900 per an mum.
 New York will be the starting point, but it is the purpose of the incorporators eventually to reach out and secure girls all over the country who are worth $1, GOO. 900 or more.
 A branch of the New York headquar- ters may be opened in Chicago in the fall of 1897, and San Francisco is an- other point that it is proposed to cover.
 So, if the Prince von Schnitzelbein secures an introduction to Miss Angelica Moneybags at all eastern watering place, he will be able to follow her to her home, and from the clubhouse of the Cercle de Ia Noblesse continue the court ship.
 The scheme was broached i'll it's in- | cipiency to Mrs. Flora Adams Darling, founder general of the Daughters of the Revolution. who, fancving that 1t would afford pleasant and harmless social di- version, indorsed the project.
 Mrs. Darling knows nothing about the business end of the enterprise, and those who enjoy her friendship say that when she learns of the full scope of the Cercle de Ia Noblesse she will withdraw her approval.
 Rene Wohlfarth, the nominal presi- dent and future manager of the club, is good looking German, about 30 years old. He was reared in Paris and is said to have been recommended by Collis P Huntington, through the good offices of his daughter, the Princess Hatzfeldt Wohlfarth has been identified with sev- eral enterprises, notably scheme to es- tablish in this country barber shops with the gilt and glitter of royalty about them and the royal arms of Ger many over the doorway. Nothing ever came of this scheme, nor of a similar one having for it's object the opening of royal stores, or stores indorsed by the mobility. ''-St Louis Republic.
