CHARACTER IN AUTOGRAPHS QUICK
LY DASHED OFF.
Handwriting of Some Bony and Well
Known Men—Some Comparison*—Some
thing Appropriate In Eacli Signature.
> [Special Correspondence.]
New York, Dec. 9—The most in
teresting Autographs are those that are
written in a hurry by a writer off his
guard and in penmanship which doesn’t
pose. There is any amount of character
in the unsigned note which Mr. Depew
once hastily scribbled with reference to
certain Wall street rumors and a part
of which is printed herewith:
AxiLaA-
One most striking antithesis to Mr.
Depew’s hasty scrawl of the busy man
is the carefully elaborate signature—al
most “too good to be true”—of Paul
Laurence Dunbar, the new negro poet:
(Pcxu£
Magazine editors are busy men, and
as a rule their signatures are hurried,
but not always. Henry M. Alden’s pre
cise and careful hand is a sharp contrast
to Mr. Gilder’s dashing signature. John
Brisben Walker’s signature runs uphill,
denoting a sanguine temperament. Here
follow the signatures of the editors of
Harper’s, The Century and The Cosmo
politan, placed together for comparison:

Funny men do not always write fun
ny letters. Sometimes they do, however.
Robert Barr, in replying to a request
for an interview, wrote not long ago:
“I am on the home stretch of a nota
ble novel, and famous men are being
driven rudely away from my door every
day because I cannot see them. Howev
er, I expect to finish this week and will
be in town one day next. Then we can
meet and amicably converse. ”

With Mr. Barr’s autograph I have
coupled Amelia E. Ban’s, only because
of the similarity pf name. Mrs Barr

writes a rather coarse, unshaded hand.
John Kendrick Bangs writes as fol
lows in a small, clear script, as plain
as print, concerning u certain photo
graph:
It is a peculiar thing that so many
big, robust men write small hands and
so many small, nervous men write big,
dashing signatures. Grover Cleveland,
Conan Doyle and Julian Hawthorne are
examples of the former sort, Edmund
Clarence Stedman and Frank L. Stan
ton, the Atlanta poet, of the latter:
> A.
In these days of cosmopolitanism the
element of nationality hardly enters in
to the character of a signature. Legros,
the French artist; Henry B. Fuller, the
Chicago novelist, and Lord Kelvin, the
eminent British scientist, all write with
bold, flowing strokes:
fcaCuisn /
JI (i,
One of the most illegible signatures I
have ever seen is that of Dr. Morgan
Dix, rector of Trinity church, New
York. The scrawl shown below was af
fixed to a complaint to a printer for set
ting up “the still small voice” as “the
skilled small boy.” I wholly sympa
thize with the printer! I have compared
with Dr. Dix’s signature some that are
plainer—the businesslike hand of W.
H. Lecky, the historian; Sir Walter
Besant’s, James Russell Lowell’s and
R. • D. Blackmore’s, and, for variety,
Steve Brodie’s:
Paul Bourget, Hamlin Garland and
Bret Harte have strongly marked, indi
vidual handwriting, Bourget’s being
rather affectedly quaint, Harte’s fine
and delicate, Garland’s plain, strong
and rather old fashioned. John Bur
roughs’ signature is good and wholesome
like himself:
cnvtj
One who cared to pursue further the
subject of character in handwriting
might compare the signatures of three
men so unlike as Rudyard Kipling,
Robert Louis Stevenson and George
Parsons Lathrop. Each writes about as
one would expect him to do—one boldly,
one quaintly, one precisely:

girl hand of Mary E. Wilkins, the nne
nervous lines of Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
Ward and the heavy black signature of
Mrs. Henry M. Stanley:
1/<V]
Three rather curious signatures of the
nervous soit are those of Jules Verne
and Dr. Pasteur, each with a downward
stroke at the end of the word, and
Verdi, the veteran composer, with its
ugly flourish:
Is there a type of signature common
to men in politics? The autographs of
Henry Cabot Lodge and Lord Salisbury
are considerably alike in general effect,
though the parallel might easily be
pushed too far:
For a final comparison I have selected
the autographs of John Fiske, the his
torian; F. Hopkinson Smith, artist and
humorist, and John Swintqn, the strong
old lion of socialism. There is some
thing appropriate to the man in each
signature:
It is sometimes said that the practice
of teaching children all to write alike
in public school and with iniquitously
fine steel pens is destroying all individ
uality in penmanship, but this does not
seem to be the case. The autographs of
the men and women of today compaie
very favorably with those of any former
time in boldness, force, originality and
interest. School writing doesn’t last
long in most cases.

John Beckwith, the warehouseman,
received a letter the other day addressed
in a round business hand and bearing
the Oakland postmark. He glanced
at it, rubbed his forehead reflectively a
moment and then, without opening the
envelope, tore it into bits.
“Why did you do that?” hsked his
partner. “That might have contained
something of importance. ”
“No, it didn’t. I wrote it myself. ”
"Are you in the habit of writing let
ters to yourself?”
“Yes, I have to. Now, if I hadn’t
written that yesterday and mailed it, I
should have forgotten that bunch of
braid, two dozen pearl buttons and five
yards of haircloth that I’ve got to go up
town and buy right now. Once, though,
I wrote a letter to myself about some
thing I wanted to remember and forgot
to mail it for two weeks. ”—Philadel
