The Exlled oueen or Nnnles.

Marie, the exiled queen of Naples,
lives the year round in Paris, in hired
apartments on q third floor, for which
she pays $1,000 a year rent. The house
is retired and questionable, and the
rooms are furnished with almost meager
simplicity. This recluse like life is fol-
lowed by the queens own desire, to
which her husband readily accedes. She
feels that she is an outcast from her for
mer estate, and therefore is determined
to live like an outcast. IF, y she once
remarked, II remain at the bottom of
the ladder, | shall at least have no fear
Of falling farther If cherish no hopes
| shall suffer no disappointments. If
set my heart on nothing | shall not be

A LOCAL GAME.
The A'hiotics"Do Up" the Eclipse nase.
ball club by n to5.

IN interesting game Of baseball was
played on the Clipper grounds yesterday
by the Eclipse and Athletic baseball clubs,
in which the latter defeated the former by
a score Of s to b. The Eclipses made three
runs in the first inning and one in the sec
ond, which would have given them the
game, but through the indifferent PLAYING
OF Catcher Steward In the sixth inning they
lost the lead which they had secured in the
first two innings, and the Athletics won
the game from them with hands down.
Tho conduct Of the players was something
wonderful and TO be commended, rs they
played quietly and without the intermina.
BILE kicking and squabbling that usually
characterizes the national game. Wag.
ner's heavy batting Yves the star feature of
the game, he making no less than four
three baggers and one single, and was five
times Mt the bat.
The two Pcytons carried Off the fielding
hOnors for the Eclipse and also got in some
good work with tho stick. Smith, for the
Eclipse, pitched good game and received
good support by Steward behind the bat.
Steward caught iinc game up to the sixth
inning when he began playing Indifferent
w. and through his indifferent playing ia
largely due the cause OF their defeat; the
general playing OF the rest Of the team
was lar above the average. Tho Athletics
played an uphill glinc rom the start when
the game WIS in the Eclipse's favor, but
Harris. the pitcher. did not seem TO be
disturbed in the least over the lead that
they bud gotten aud by being well sup.
ported by his catcher, Black, and his out
field he held the Eclipse down TO their
five runs, for which lac deserves much
credit. The game was uinpircd by AIR.
Dcnnie, who gave satisfaction 10 both
clubs, none OF his decisions being ques-
toned by either side.
