1t Is understood that Mr.. Grau's accident
was no more serious in its effects than TO
enable his physicians to persuade him to
stay in his room for few days. When
they once got him there they were so
delighted that they concluded he should
not escape for several weeks, but take
the absolute rest they have tried for
some time TO convince him he needed. For
the first week Mr.. Grau continued to work

"Tannhauser' was repeated at the Met ro-
politan Opera House last night before an
audience of moderate size and ent hus iasn
The original selection for last night was
Tristan und Isolde in which Nine. Nor
dca was to have made her reappea ra nee

ever, she came across the Western ocean at
a time when the roaring forties" were
misbehaving outrageo,lsly, and she had not
recovered from tho effects Of the passage
in time to prepare for performance last
night. The very thought of the VOYAGE
70 Cornwall in the first act Of Tristan und
Isolde" was enough to unnerve her.
The performance OF -TannhAliser" was
not inspiriting Mr. Antilles was a very
hard-voiced and infexible representative
Of the hero. The impression deepens that
Mr.. Anthes's style Is unsuited to heroic
roles. In tho first scene he and Mime.
Homer, the Venus, did a great deal of Ia :
borious and not very tuneful singing, in
which the raggedness Of the orchestra at
some points greatly aided them. Nine.
Gadsk repeated her familiar impcrsonation
of the sanity and forgiving Elizabeth. She
was in good voice and sang well.
Nme. Seygard's performance OF the
5 teIh9rd deserves especial comment. She
appeared in a costume suitable to a comic
opera shepherd, but quite impossible to
take seriously, In the second place she
missed all Ter connections with the pine
She failed to put it to her lips when it began
to sound and always took II down before il

MEDALS or HONOR,
Board Of Onicers Considering = Proposed
Change Of Design.

WASHINGTON, Dec ia change in the
design Of the medal Of honor awarded to
the officers and soldiers for distinguished
military service ia considered probable.
owing to the similarity Of the present medal
to the badge of the Grand Army OF the
Republic A board Of officers appointed
some time ago by Secretary Root is now
considering the subject.
The board believes that. instead OF award
ing new medal of honor each time an
officer distinguishes himself thereby re-
sulting in a collection of medals, the
new medals should have a bar across the
ribbon for each service. II is proposed to
have distinctive ribbon for each particular
campaign. one for the Mexican " n. another
for the Civil War, a third for the Spanish
war and one for the campaign in china.
II has been suggested that a yellow ribbon
