Mace the Paris detective, who died

spectaeles Of his own invention. The
lenses were divided into two parts,
through one Of which he looked ahead

after one of Louisiana's intellec-

says the Lake Charles Press. "lt

that Benjamin got lost when he

likely that the house will reverse
the report of the committee. That
