Biggest Fire insurance.

Negotiations are under way, says
The Washington Star, for placing a
S51- million dollar Insurance policy on
the new house of Charles NJ. Schwab
and its furnishings. The dwelling
with its furnishings will cost when
-completed, about nine millions OF doll
lars. 1t is to be filed with theH work
of the best artists and Mr.. and Mrs.
Schwab have been lansack ng Europe
for years for paintings, tapestries and
antiques to grace it.
It is the intention Iof the former
head of the steel trust to will this
palace and it's costly collections to the
city to serve as museum and show
place after his death and that Of his
wife. In order to carry out this idea
he has sought the advice OF the fore
most architects and artists Of the cay.
and in the construction and the fur
nishing of the building no less than
fifty experts in the arts and crafs have
beer employed. In appearance the
house closely follows the style OF the
Chateau Chennonceaux in France, al
though there are suggestions OF
other famous chateaux in the details.
The house is 100 by Is feet aud stands
III the center Of grounds 200 by 400
feet.
The architect is. Maurice Herbert.
We'll known artists have painted the
panels in the ceiling of the reception
rooms. and the tapestries which will
be used in the mural decorations are
considered the most expensive ever
brought TO this country. The pictures S
by we'll known artists of every period
ara worth more than the cost of the
building as palace. The sculpture
which is to adorn the halls is repre-
sentative of the best plastic art of this
country and Europe.
Announcement has been made
that the carved sllyer-gilt din
per set which has been ordered
will cost $50, 600, and will be the
finest ever made for a private dining
room. It is being made by firm IN
Providence, r. I. Antique lines will
be followed in its design and il will
be ornamented by hand.
