Birch was sixty-seven years old. He never did

elsewhere and general favorite win 'he

Greatness began II was there that he and Messrs.
Wambold. Bernard and Baclius formed the san
Francisco Ministries. This company played IN san
Francisco for long time with great success, ana
then travelled among the other cities OF the racine
Coast. as well as among some Of the smaller towns
and the mining camps. Its success was repeated
everywhere.
After a tine the company came to the East and
took tlfe fanos old hall at No. 6S5 Broadway, op-
pos,ts NYblO's Garden. Here the Ministries were
successful again. and they stayed for several years
It was here that they made the most Of their fame
and fortune. They grew rich. indeed. ana IL Billy

alone The enterprise was not successful now but
even yet Birch might have escaped from 1t and
saved O. good deal of money II he had not begun 70
speculate in Wall Street. II was said that he had
$4,000 at one time but he lost It. all and gave up
the theatre. After that his health failed, and he
was able 70 do little work and his appearances on
the stage were rare His wife kept boarding
house in Seventh-ave., and this the chief sup
port of both OF them. One or two benefits were
given for the old minstrel, one OF them only Few
weeks ago and these added something TO his re-
sources but not enough to help him for any great
length of time.
Birch was arrested for drunkenness some weeks
ago. but his friends probably right In their as
