Antedating of "hot dog" --1884 in Indiana-CORRECTED COPY

[sclements at NEO.RR.COM]

Barry Popik caught my mistake.  I put <hot dog> in quotes.  Why, I don't knonw.  But, there were no quotes around the words in the article.

The title of the newspaper masthead was instead _The Evansville Daily Courier_ and it was column 5, not 4.

I gotta quit drinking.
