They Apply for the Si 5. Quite a number of released convicts have applied during the last few days for the $15 provided in the new law enacted by the Legislature. There has been some difficulty or delay in obtaining this appropriation until to-day, when Marshal Ireland arrived at an understanding with Treasurer James Jack that will involve a verv simple process pro-cess in order for parties to" obtain their dues. A statement setting forth the particulars par-ticulars in relation to the released convict is made out by the Marshal, and on presentation pre-sentation of it the money is paid over to be expended as the Marshal or Warden may direct. It is in this last feature where the fun comes in . The parties who have applied thus far for the provision have been greatly surprised when informed in-formed that at least $10 of the amount must be spent for clothing under the direction di-rection of the officers. This does not seem to strike the boys just right, and the probability 13 some of them do some emphatic em-phatic swearing on the side.
