 Residents of South Brooklyn might just as we'll make up their minds that they will have to get along without the services of their favorlte teacher, Miss Frances A. Bowes. It is not likely that the district could get her now at any salsry, for she has already received an appointment to a position where the surroundings will be much more congenial to 8 lady of her character than they were under the regime of Chairman Lapointe. The center dis trict is constantly on the lookout for teachers of Miss Bowes' disposition and have appointed her to position in the Locust street school. It will be quite an agreeable change for her to be teaching in a school where such profound scholar as Professor Crosby is the man at the helm. In her new position all that will be ex- pected of her is a strict compliance with the rules of the center school district. She will not be discharged because she fails to keep track of what the gossips have to say.

GOLD RAID CHECKED,

The Nforg,ln-Bel snt Syndicate Protects
 the Treasury.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The government bond syndicate has deposited at tho sub treasury S'.35h, O0O ill gold in exchange for legal tenders. This action is taken in pursuance of the syndicatcs policy to re- imburse the treasury for gold withdrawn thcrcfrom for shipment to Europe.
 Two or three weeks ago tho syndicate turned over S2, 900, 900 in gold to the sub- treasury, which, with the amount put in yesterday, makes a total of S3 $50, 900. Tho bulk of the gold deposited yesterday was in assay office certificates. These are checks issued on the receipt of a certain quantity of gold bullion, and the cquiva lent is held by the government subject to the order of the holder of the certificate. Though the treasury reserve was nearing the $100, 900, 900 mark, it had not reached this figure before the action of the Syndi- cate compensated for yesterdays with drawals. The reserve was $1O1. 750, 900, which, with the syndicatc's deposit, will bring it ur to about $103, 1on GOO. But even this figure is considerably below what 1t was three weeks ago. when the reserve was in round figures about Sl07. GOO, 900 Though Wall street generally appreciates any movement that keeps the treasury gold reserve above S10O 900, 000, it does not see any prospective abatement of gold exports as long as sterling rates of exchange are maintained at present high figures
