Lock Expert.


WASHINGTON, d. c., October 20.
In ell the cities where United States
civil service commission is located, ex
aminations are in progress to-day for q
linguist and an expert on locks and
vaults. This fact would not In itself
be remarkable were 1t not for the pecu-
liar conditions that are attached to the
various examinations. The expert
locksmith, for instance, whose business
it would be to take care of the locks on
vaults and safes in the treasury depart
ment, must be able to pick lock un-
der any circumstances within ten
minutes; and hence, the position offers
advantages to retired cracksman who
is anxious to lead an honest life in re-
turn for the prompt payment OF saIa-
ny of $3.50 monthly.
The linguist, moreover, for salary
of $125 monthly, must be able to trans
late into English, French, German,
Spanish and Italian, to do type-writing
in all these languages, to read proofs in
them and prepare manuscripts for the
press; while In addition, he must be
proficient In the use Of the English
language and literary composition, and
familiar with all modern library
methods.
The result Of the examinations will
be reported to the civil service CON-
missioners here, and the successful ap-
plicants will in due course be notified
that the positions are awaiting them.

as dangerous as could be selected for a
big conflagation. Two Pacific elevat-
ors 'A' and "B", are filled with
wheat, and they themselves furnish a
goodIy confagration. Directly to the
north, is the Armour elevator,
the largest in the world, and
stocked mp to the roof with grain. To
the northeast, is the immense mailing
house of Hale g. Curtis; then the coal
shed and dock of the Crescent CON-
mission Co., stocked with thousand OF
tons of bituminous coal. Lumber yards
in the immediate vicinity offer addi.
tional material for further spread of
the blaze. The fire is spreading and
has destroyed several small frame
buildings, owned by the Chicsgo, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railway.
At 2:20 O'Clock the fire is practi-
cally under control and the indications

THE WHEAT MARKET.
Another Rise In the Price Of the Cereal 10
Predicted.

LONDON, England, October 26.-
la an interview with representative
of the United Associated Presses, to-
day, Robert Pimm, member of house
doing business in Baltic wheat on the
grain exchange SAID: "The fall OF
half a crown in California wheat in
Liverpool, has disorganized the market
and we do not know exactly where we
stand, until we receive some of the ar
rivals of wheat which are now due
from California, thus fixing the actual
values. The markets must be uncer-
tam. The cardetrsde have come to
the conclusion that there is going to be
a different level from what they are
accustomed to and better prices. At
present, we can take every bushel of
California wheat we can possibly get
and l expect an immediate rise OF an
other shilling.''
CHICAGO, Illinois, October 26.--
The wheat prices were slightly higher
at the opening this morning than at
the close, Saturday, but trading was
very ordinary. No excitement pre-
walls.
