Royal telephone ...Iolani Palace fully lit up

The first telephone was installed in Iolani Palace (note the K.K. monogram
and the royal crown on it). The king was very enthusiastic about new
technology. When he heard about electricity, he had Thomas Edison 
himself come right away and install it inside and outside his palace.
The White House in Washington had to wait a few more years.
