BECEIVERS DROP ROADS.
Joline and Robinson Get Authority
from Judge Laeombe.
Judge Lacombe. In the United States Circuit
Court yesterday authorized Messrs. Joline and
Robinson, receivers of the New York City and
Metropolitan Street Railway companies, to cancel
the leases between those companies and the CenWal
Park North & East River Railroad, known as
the "Belt Line." and the 2Sth and 29th street road.
These lines, the receivers said, had been operated rt
a heavy loss.
In his opinion Judge Lacombe orders that, the
leased lines be turned over to the companies which
orginally controlled them. Those companies practi
cally went out of existence when their luu-s were
leased to the Metropolitan and will be unable to
operate the roads now. having no cars, horses or
power plant. Cancellation of the leases eventually
will cut off the transfers between those lines snd
the lines of the New York City Railway Company,
if the leaped lines be operated in future.
It will throw back on those companies old debts
assumed at the time of the leases which the Metro-
I>olitan and New York City Railway Company neg
lected to settle, and may mean the annulment of
the franchises of the "Belt Line" and the 2Sth and
2Sth street road.

amounted to M7.090 6s. and this amount could b«
reduced somewhat if the decision were favorable
to the company. Opposes counsel, said the court,
termed these figures excessive, and the manage

cUnad to take the word of its receivers, hut irre

PHYSICIAN A SUICIDE
Throat Specialist Jumps from Roof
of ML Sinai Hospital.
Throwing himself headlong from the roof , f
■ft, Sinai Hospital, at 100th street and ICadi
son avenue, yesterday afternoon Dr. Pete* \
Burnett, a well known throat specialist living In
Williamshurg. committed suicide. He was mental
ly deranged, it is believed, by the excessive heat
and humidity of the day.
Dr. Burnett, who had been in the institution
about one week, was a private patient, and was
being treated for diabetes, according to the hos
pital authorities. The force of his fall wad suf
ficient to cause Instant death, and almost every
bone in his body was broken.
Dr. Burnett was about fifty-five years old. un
married, and lived with his widowed mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Burnett, at No. ]&2 Hewes : .reet Will
lamsburg About a month ago he was stricken
with a severe attack of diabetes, and went to lit
Sinai Hospital, where, he was treated by Dr.
Fluhrer, a specialist.
On Sunday, thinking that the patient was on
the road to recovery, the hospital authorities al
lowed the doctor to sit in the solarium, or sun
bath, on Hie roof, six stories above the street.
About three o'clock yesterday afternoon Dr. Bur
nett was sitting in a chair close to the edge of
the roof. He suddenly threw aside the paper he
was reading, walked slowly to the ledge, and.
gazing down into the street below for a moment,
took the fatal leap.
Inforniati' n obtain;) hie by reporters at the hos
pital was meagre. Dr. Qoldwater, the superin
tendent, and Dr. Blum, the assistant superin
tendent, wanted it to appear that Dr. Burnett had
not been a patient at the Mount Sinai Hospital, but
that he was a tramp who had found Ills way 10
the roof from the street, and then had fallen or
jumped off to his death.
■ - He was not 8 patient here." said Or. Qoldwater,
and in this he was corroborated by Dr. Blum, who
added that the dead man whs unknown to him.
After some deliberation Dr. Blum told five or six
of the newspaper men present that "he was a
tramp; he was dressed lik<' a laborer. 1 think he
wandered in from the park.''
Asked as to whether it was the custom at Mount
Sinai Hospital to allow persons of that description
to roam at will through the buildings. Dr. Blum
Imparted to the reporter the information that it
was nine of his (the reporters) business. He th^n
retired to his room, banging the door with much
energy.
Finally, upon the arrival of Patrolman yuinn, of
the Kast 104th street Btation, information as to the
suicide's Identity was obtained. It was at first de
nied that his record was it hand, although Dr.
Burnett bad had many patients in the Institution.
It remained for Coroner Harburger to wrest the.
full details from the reluctant hospital st;iff.
Coroner H;irburper cxpresst d his f« eiiiißs in no
quiet manner when he learned that the roof was
In charge of a woman attendant and that there
were no male orderlies "If there had been a man
there to look out for the patients this thing would
probably not have happened." h« declared.
I>r. Burnett was one of the best known special
ists in .ar and nose diseases in Brooklyn, and
lived in a three story and basement brownstone
dwelling house at No. IS2 Hewes street. Williams

COOKING ASPARAGUS.
Several Recipes Recommended by Famous
Cooks— How to Select This Vegetable.
Dietitians say that asparagus contains much nu
triment, is very digestible and easily assimilated,
even by invalids, though It Is not -good for persons
With a. gouty tendency.
When selecting this vegetable remember that if
the cut end is brown and dry. and the heads bent
toward one aide it Is stale. Of course asparagus Is
at its be-t when fresli from the garden, but It
can be kept fairly well for one or two days by
petting the lower part of the stalks in cold water.
There arc several pood ways to cook asparagus.
Ordinary boiled asparagus may be nerved with a
hollandaise, mousseline. drawn butter, vinaigrette.
maltese or cream sauce. If the vegetable is of
especially fine quality, it is delicious merely sea
soned and served on toast that has been moist
ened with melted butter and a little of the as
paragus liquor — the water it was cooked in. Be
fore cooking remove a small part— about an Inch —
from the lower end of ea h stalk, where it is hard
and coarse *Wash the stalks carefully and tie
them together again in bundles. Some cooks let
asparagus lie in cold water for a little while be
fore cooking. Others believe that the kettle nsed
for boiling should be deep enough to aliow-the
bundles of asparagus to stand up straight. This
keeps the tender tips, which cooli so much quicker
than the stalks, out of water. Still other cooks
keep the tips of the vegetable out of water for
only the first ten minutes of. cooking. The color
of the vegetable is generally supposed to keep
better if the smallest possible pinch of baking soda
be added to the water. I^et the vegetable cook
twenty minutes or till tender, not till soft or
spongy. Instead of tying in bundle, the vegetable
may be cut in inch piece*, then the tips, as they
get done, may he removed from the water before
the other pieces.
A certain French chef treats boiled aspaiagm
as follows: After draining the vegetable set it in
rows with minced parsley and hard boiled egg
yolk mixed together. Then over the rows sprinkle
fine broad crumbs combined with, brown butter in
the proportion of one ounce of crumbs to four
ounces of butter.
ASPARAGUS AND CHEESE.
A Flemish custom la to serve boiled asparagus
with a hot. hard boiled erusbedt ;ind :in ounce
of melted butter. This is enough for tmo persons.
Asparagus is often cooked with Parmesan cheese.
The following is Kscoffler's way to serve It: Boil
the vegetable as usual, drain, pot it en ■ long
buttered dish sprinkled with grated Parmesan
cheese, arrange it In rows und sprinkle the heads
with sonse of the grated cheese. Just before serv
ing cover the cheese sprinkled parts copiously
with drawn butter, and then glaze slightly by
means of a salamander.
Delmonico'a way of serving asparagus with
*heesc is called "asparagus a la Tesstnofse." Bofl
two bunches of asparagus for twelve minutes. Put
in a deep dish in layers with grated Swiss or
Parmesan cheese between. Brown slightly a third
of a chopped onion of medium size in an ounce of
butter. Cover thp contents of th>- dish with It.
Sprinkle the top with a little cheese and frestl
bread crumbs, then cook for Bfteen minutes in a
moderate oven.
A slight variation of this rule leaves out the
onion ami calls (or a small cup of the water fn
which the asparagus was cooked, for moistening.
Conk, books often mention "asparagus r i( ' : >?."
These are either the vegetable cut in dice or the
delicate tips of each stalk. To serve asparagus in
dice Is a convenient way of dressing the vegetable
When the stalks are toy small and yours; to make
a nice looking dish prepared in the usual way.
Cut the stalks into diet- only ns far down as they
are perfectly tender. Wash them and throw them
into plenty of boiling salted water. They will be
done in ten or twelve minutes. Season well .in.l
boil them once in a cream sauce and serve;
A French way of serving them in this sauct ■
the following: For one and a half pints of "paasT
have ready two or three gills of melted butter. ■
teaspoonful of powdered sugar, a pinch of salt.
two yolks of egga and a half Kill of cream. After
boiling the "peas" in water till tender, drain and
mix th.tn with the butter, sugar and salt, then
thicken with the egg yolks and cream.
The tender tips of the asparagus stalks may be
served in :i number of dainty ways, and the coarser
part of the sta.ks used in a ROoii soup. For this
soup have ready a bunch of asp.ira.gus. a dozen
pepper cones, a teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoon
fuls of butter, two tablespoonfuls of flour, half a
cup of cream and three ptnjs of white stock or
water. If water Is used fry an onion in butter and
add to it. Stock is generally flavored with vege
tables and will not need such an addition. Remove,
the tips of the asparagus and lay them aside and
boll the remainder of the bunck with the pepprr
cones and salt in the stock or water. T.et the vege
table cook haif an hour, then strain through a
puree sieve, letting nil the soft pulp of the
asparagus pass through that will, but none of the
harder fibre. Return the strained soup to the fire
and add the butter and flour gradually, mixing it
at first with only ■ small quantity of the ll'iiud t.>
insult.- again-t lumping. I^et the soup cook six
minutes more', then add the cream. The soup may
be served with a few of the •"peas" stewed, or with
croutons.
USED IN SOUP.
An asparagus consomme is merely a plain con
sonime colored green, to which is added some
asparagus tips. Before using tho tips in a sj'ip
cook them in salted water until tender, but not
broken.
There are many delightful ways of serving the
tips. 801l them in salted water for about twelvj
minutes. With a little butter and seasoning they
may accompany lamb or veal cutlets, or as a dainty
entree they may be served in small patty crusts.
They also make a delicious garnish for a salmon
salad.
There are several good ways to use cold left-over
asparagus. One is in th, form of a salad It mi/
be Used with other salad vegetables, or alone wlt!i
oil and vinegar or with mayonnaise. A Chantilly
mayonnaise— to which beaten cream has beer,
added— is recommended by Kscoffler. The salad.
will be doubly attractive if served in nests i>f l«i
tuce leaves.
An asparagus omelet is considered very good r>y
some authorities. Cut the cold asparagus tn Indi
pieces and set It in a covered earthen di*h. in hot
water, to be heated thoroughly, but not to cool.
Seaton tt slightly ugaln. Make a nice omelet with
four egga, put a cup of the heated asparagus ll
it. fold it and serve ut once. If a large dish Is
desired, prenmrt two small omelets. It is not desir
able to make an oassstl lanl %uauir.s snsM lUu
four epfcs. Two or thre* small om«l«t» ar© better
than one large one.
Scrambled eggs are also jrood with awparagus.
Use half a cup of "tips" to every three eggs.
"Veal coltops and **JMf MIMiH of a similar
character are assMthsMS served with a rich cream
sauce, to which have been added a few tender pleee»
of eold asparagus, or. If preferred, a layer of
asparagus may "top" the collops and the -»:tra
sauce be poured over that.
