[578] In California and Montana summons and publication in divorce suits are given under the general provisions for civil actions: POMEROY, _Codes and Stat.: Civil Proced._ (1901), secs. 410 ff.; _Codes and Stat. of Mont._ (1895), 782, 796, 797. This is, of course, not inconsistent with Sharon _v._ Sharon (1885), 67 _Cal._, 185, ruling that an action for divorce is a case in equity under the clause in the constitution conferring appellate jurisdiction on the supreme court. [579] The statute of Wisconsin requires the proceedings to be as in "courts of record" so far as practicable: _Ann. Stat._ (1889), I, 1362. [580] In New York, for instance, the order for publication must direct that the summons be published "in two newspapers, designated in the order as most likely to give notice to the defendant, for a specified time, which the judge deems reasonable, not less than once a week for six successive weeks;" and unless the judge is satisfied from affidavits presented that the defendant's residence is unknown, it must also require that copies of the summons, complaint, and order be mailed to him at a specified place: BIRDSEYE, _Rev. Stat._ (1896), I, 18. The laws of Ohio and Kansas are similar: BATES, _Ann. Rev. Stat. of Ohio_ (1897), II, 2805; _Laws of Kan._ (1897), II, 273. By the statute of Pennsylvania, if the adverse party is not found, the court may issue an alias subpoena, and trial may be set for a later term. If a second time personal service cannot be had, notice must be "published in one or more newspapers printed within or nearest to the said county for four weeks successively" prior to the first day of the next term: PEPPER AND LEWIS, _Digest_ (1896), I, 1642. Colorado has a careful provision. See also _Civil Laws of the Hawaiian Islands_ (1897), 716-18; and the new law of New Jersey: _Acts_ (1903), 122, 123.
