Summary

Coverage of Butte's 1911 St. Patrick's Day observance — continuation from page 1. The Butte Hibernians (AOH) marked the day with a Mass and sermon at St. Patrick's Church and a public meeting / banquet "wishing for independence" (per the user's filename — the deck and body indicate the talks foregrounded Irish independence as the political call of the day, a year before the third Home Rule Bill was introduced at Westminster). Subheads visible: "St. Patrick and Glories of the Race Recalled"; "St. Peter and St. Patrick" (sermon section); "An Address"; "The Crowds Were Mountains"; "Praise as a People"; "Spread Everywhere"; "A Prophecy"; "A Large Audience"; "Mr. O'Brien's Remarks"; "Mr. O'Hara's Remarks"; "High Mass at Sacred Heart"; "At Other Churches" (Sacred Heart, St. Mary's, etc.). Body text is small in the export; specific speaker / officer names mostly below the readable threshold without higher- resolution re-pull. Visible from the visible deck and column fragments are: Father Cummings, Father Patrick Murray, Father Sullivan, Father Pierce (Sacred Heart Church), Father Donlon (Anaconda), John J. O'Mears, J. J. Connors, W. J. Galway, Mrs. Hartin, Mrs. Conlon, J. J. Cravin. Several "Murphy" mentions in the columns; one is plausibly "P. J. Murphy" or "James J. Murphy" (the Centerville-AOH JJM, who was AOH chief sentinel in 1910 and would be elected county president the following October). Worth a higher-resolution re-pull to confirm. Anchor item in the JJM-Centerville-AOH thread for 1911.

# HIBERNIANS PAY ANNUAL TRIBUTE ## ST. PATRICK AND GLORIES OF THE RACE RECALLED — SERMON AT ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH *The Butte Daily Post (masthead: "THE BUTTE INTER MOUNTAIN"), Friday, March 17, 1911, p. 12. Continued from page 1.* *Transcription status: partial — body type is small in the export and substantial portions of the column are below the readable threshold. Headlines and major subheads are recoverable; specific speaker quotations are not. A higher-resolution re-pull from Newspapers.com or Chronicling America is needed to recover the full text.* The article carries continuation from page 1 of the previous day's St. Patrick's Day observance in Butte. Recoverable subheads, in column order: - St. Peter and St. Patrick - An Address - The Crowds Were Mountains - Praise as a People - Spread Everywhere - A Prophecy - A Large Audience - Mr. O'Brien's Remarks - Mr. O'Hara's Remarks - High Mass at Sacred Heart - At Other Churches Visible recovered names and clergy/officer references (not exhaustive — additional names are present in the column but not legible at the export resolution): Father Cummings (principal sermon-celebrant), Father Patrick Murray, Father Sullivan, Father Pierce (Sacred Heart Church), Father Donlon (Anaconda), John J. O'Mears, J. J. Connors, W. J. Galway, Mrs. Hartin, Mrs. Conlon, J. J. Cravin. The political content the user flagged in their filename ("1911 wish for independence") is consistent with the period: 1911 was the year of the introduction of the Parliament Act (limiting the House of Lords' veto), the necessary precondition for the Asquith government to introduce the third Home Rule Bill in 1912. Butte AOH and Hibernian gatherings of 1911 routinely called for Irish home rule / independence in their public speeches. *[Body of the article — approximately three to four columns of small newsprint — not transcribed.]* --- **Page-12 right half ad (separate from the article — catalogued in this page's `peripheral_items`):** M. J. Connell Co. New Spring Furnishings FOR MEN. Blue Serge Suits, Men's Clothing — 50 suits made to sell for $18 placed on sale tomorrow for $10 each. Men's Silk Negligee Shirts $3.50.

Open questions

  • Recover the full speaker / officer roster of the 1911 Butte St. Patrick's Day banquet. The user's filename ("wish for independence") implies the body's political content is the archive-relevant part.
  • Whether the "P. J. Murphy" or "James J. Murphy" mentioned in the body refers to the AOH-active JJM-Centerville (likely) or a different Murphy.
