Former Mayor Biddeford
Dies at Ripe Age of 80

James H. Mcmillan, mayor of Bid
deford in 1873 and one of the few
Republican mayors Of that city, died
yesterday at, his home, 1S1 State
street, aged 80 years. He had been in
remarkably good health for one of his
years up to about three weeks ago,
when he was taken ill. Ten days ago
he fell in his room and fractured his
hip, and this was a contributory
cause Of his failing. He possessed the
use of all his faculties to the last, and
was a man of remarkable mental
strength to the last.
Mr.. McMullen was born in Salem,
Mass, Nov. II, 1880, of Scotch-Irish
parentage. AS young boy he went
to work and was employed in the cot
ton mills in Lowell and Lawrence. In
1860 he went to Saco and was en-
ployed in the mills there. Alert and
active. as young man he was eager
for advancement, and through his en-
ergies and ability he won promotion.
He early became identified with the
Saco Water Power Co., and served as
its agent until 1895, when he retired.
1t was in 1880 that Mr.. MCMILLAN
moved to Portland, and he had re-
sided here ever since In 1876 he mar
ried Miss Florence Benthuysen of AL
bany, N. Y, and they maintained their
home in the old Fessenden house at
the corner of State and Deering
streets. Later they removed to 81
High street, and in 1882 to the present
home, 131 State street The family
was for many years prominently as
ISOLATED with St. Luke's Cathedral,
which property adjoins that of Mr..
Mcmillan.
He took great. interest in reading.
and to his books and other literature
devoted many hours. He continued
his practice Of reading regularly rp
to the time he was taken ill three
weeks ago.
Mr.. MCMILLAN is survived by u
daughter, Mrs. John W. GuIick, wife
OF Col. Gulick Of the United States
Army, and two grandchildren.
The funeral services will be held
Monday at 2 from the family resi-
dcnce or State street. The body will
be taken to Albany. N. Y.. for buri..l.

IN POLISH PRESIDENT

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE highest Importance
is attached by the newspapers today
to the. Franco-Polish declaration yes
terday of 1.-The community of interests
uniting these two friendly countries"
The understanding is explained as
mot an alliance nor a screen for an
alliance, but for the maintenance OF
existing relations of friendship" These
ties the Petit Parisien calls stronger
than written alliance"
1t is also believed that the publica-
ton of the declaration means that
France has accepted President Pilsud-
skis assurance that Poland has adopted
a pacific policy and Is without aggress-
i've intentions against her neighbors,
thus justifying France inc oming, to her
aid If she is attacked without provoca-
ton.
