Page overview

Page 5 of The Butte Inter Mountain for Friday, March 17, 1911 — St. Patrick's Day — is dominated by Hennessy's department store advertising, which occupies the upper two-thirds and much of the lower portion of the page. The single news column on the far left carries the St. Patrick's Day banquet story at its head, followed by deaths and funerals notices, a brief wire dispatch on the death of Chas. E. Mitchell, and two small entertainment notices at the foot. The editorial matter is sparse and entirely local in character; the page functions primarily as a retail advertising vehicle with a thin news strip down its left edge.

Juxtapositions

  • The 'DEATHS AND FUNERALS' notices — including the funeral of Mrs. William J. Toohey at Sacred Heart church — run immediately below the St. Patrick's Day banquet story, so Irish names in mourning sit directly under Irish names in celebration.
  • The 'Farewell Song Recital at the Woman's Club Tonight' notice occupies the same column-foot as the death notice for Fred Waters, a native of England aged 72, creating an accidental pairing of departure and farewell.

FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1911. — THE BUTTE INTER MOUNTAIN — 5 ## Column 1 # PROMINENT MEN ATTEND BANQUET ## IRISH IN ANNUAL BANQUET AT THE SILVER BOW CLUB IN HONOR OF ST. PATRICK. The banquet given at the Silver Bow club last evening was attended by representative Irish-Americans from all parts of the state of Montana. From the heights of patriotism, love of the banner of Green, and loyalty to the Eagle, the addresses last night carried the listeners over the waves that part the New World from the Old, to the little Island that sleeps on the bosom of the wave. The curtains of the future were rolled back and the brightness of the days that await limned in silver lines. The banquet was handsomely appointed. P. J. Brophy was chairman. Lieutenat [sic] Governor Allen was unavoidably absent and W. W. Walsworth of The Anaconda Standard took his place in the toast of "Montana." The program of the evening was as follows: "The President," Hon Henry C. Smith. "Our Country," Hon. C. F. Kelley. "The Irish-Americans," Hon. William L. Holloway. "St. Patrick's Day," Mr. W. K.

Peripheral items I've noted

  • PROMINENT MEN ATTEND BANQUET [top-left lead, St. Patrick's Day]

    Top-left lead on St. Patrick's Day Friday March 17 1911. Headline consistent with coverage of a Butte Irish- American St. Patrick's Day banquet held the previous evening (Thursday March 16). The "Hibernians Pay Annual St. Patrick's Day Tribute 1911 wish for independence" PDF in this archive's inbox almost certainly refers to this issue or its companion in the Butte Miner / Anaconda Standard same day. Worth a clipping pull at higher resolution.
