New York. Jan. 15-The tax list made public yesterday has several interest ing features.
 Chief of those Is the fact that the Tax Assessors have written down the nersonal fortune left by Russell Sage at $5O,OOO, 900. This is easily the big gest individual personal tax ever re- corded in the city's books. Sage, in his life time, was assessed at $2,O0O.- 900. Mrs Sage. to whom was left practically all of the Sage fortune. is assessed on $5.0o0,0OO In her own name. If these two statements stand, Mrs Sage will have to draw her check in favor of the city treasury for some thing like $S10,000.
